The below are the deps on gentoo, which almost always uses upstream 
package naming, so unless ubuntu names things differently... (The 
category, that is, the part before the /, is gentoo specific, the name 
should be what upstream ships as.)

Note that most binary distros will split what upstream ships as single-
package libraries in two, a *-dev or *-devel package containing the
headers, pkgconfig files, and other "build-time-only" components, and
another package, normally just named at the library without the -dev(el) 
suffix, that contains the pre-built runtime library binaries.  For these 
distros you have to have BOTH the runtime and build-time (aka *-dev 
package) library packages installed in ordered to build against that 
library.  Not having the *-devel package for one or more required 
libraries is in fact the most common "novice" error when trying to build 
a package from sources, so that's the first thing I'd say to check.


On a binary distro, the easiest way to get /most/ necessary packages, 
including the *-dev packages, installed, is to rebuild the shipped 
version, using the existing sources package (on rpm-based distros, the 
srpm, I've no idea what debian-based calls 'em).  That will of course 
install everything required to build it, so after that, all you'll need 
to do is install the optional packages for options it didn't enable (like 
ssl/tls here), and possibly, newer versions of dependencies if you're 
trying to build a newer version of the package that requires them.

So anyway, here's the gentoo list.  (The xxx? notation indicates an 
optional dep that will need installed if that option is to be enabled.)

This is for pan 0.142.

runtime (aka rdepend):

        >=dev-libs/glib-2.26:2
        dev-libs/gmime:2.6
        >=sys-libs/zlib-1.2.0
        >=x11-libs/gtk+-2.16:2
        gnome-keyring? ( >=gnome-base/libgnome-keyring-3.2 )
        libnotify? ( >=x11-libs/libnotify-0.4.1:0= )
        spell? (
                >=app-text/enchant-1.6
                >=app-text/gtkspell-2.0.7:2 )
        ssl? ( >=net-libs/gnutls-3:0= )

Build-time = runtime plus:

        app-text/yelp-tools
        >=sys-devel/gettext-0.19.7
        virtual/pkgconfig


(AFAIK yelp-tools is only needed to build the manual.  I'm building the 
git version here and don't have yelp-tools installed, without issue, but 
my git-build script doesn't hard-enable the yelp-tools/manual option as 
the gentoo 0.142 build appears to.  But you'll need gettext and one of 
the pkgconfig alternatives, whatever your distro uses should work.)
