Usually just the libraries... though if you install via RPMS, it should
tell you exactly which dependancies you need (if any).

i don't have rpm because i have a self-made system and i didn't manage to
install rpm from source yet... but that's another problem

It depends on the applications, and gnome's library dependency is a big
headache. So the best bet is to install basic Gnome S/W even if you don't
use it. If you don't have space, just run configure for the apps you
want, and it will show which libraries are necessary (surely some of them
need other libraries, etc.).
I have a system built w/ LFS, has all possbile WM/DTs in it, and many
apps (mostly non-core apps) runs well in other WM/DT environments.

Regards.

what is wm/dt?

i have built my system with lfs (linux from scratch; we are talking about the
same, aren't we?), too.

i have enough space but not a very fast nor cheap internet access.

Thanks.

To Mr. Walter:
Yes, I am talking about the same LFS. If you have enough space, go for
a full installation of Gnome following LFS-Hints (fairly good guide for
the compilation). There'll be some problems, esp., for prerequisite
libraries, but you will solve them since you built a system already.

Regards.
