It is a common error that shows up when you did not install tcl8.5 (source).

You need to install tcl8.5

sudo apt-get install -y tcl

Ubuntu – Error libx264 not found

It happens because you are compiling libav with --enable-libx264 which would need the libx264 headers to complete. It fails at the configure phase with:

configure: error: libx264 not found

This can be fixed easily installing the needed headers package libx264-dev which should be done with sudo apt-get install yasm libvpx. libx264. but for some reason it doesn't for you:

sudo apt-get install yasm libvpx. libx264.

Ubuntu – error: pcap library not found!

You actually installed libcap-dev when you wanted

 sudo apt-get install libpcap-dev

Edit: as for libsqlite

 sudo apt-get install libsqlite3-0

Or you can just do

 sudo apt-get install libsqlite3-dev
