Have you tried the Debian packages? They might work for Ubuntu, too (but I 
don't
know for sure).

If it doesn't work or if you want to build CGAL yourself here are the
dependencies from the Debian package (some of them only needed for specific
demos/examples):

cmake, libboost-dev, libboost-thread-dev, libboost-program-options-dev,
libgmp3-dev, libmpfr-dev, libqt4-dev, libqt4-opengl-dev, zlib1g-dev, 
libipe-dev
(>= 7), ipe, liblapack-dev, libatlas-base-dev | libatlas.so.3gf, gfortran,
geomview, libqglviewer-qt4-dev, libglew1.5-dev | libglew-dev,
libmagick++-dev | libmagick++9-dev, qt4-dev-tools

Maybe you are missing libatlas-base-dev?
