@storefolks a little late to the party but if you do $ touch lib/wx/SKIP inside otp_erlang source code before compiling it, it will skip the wx libs, which I believe are unstable and on a server should be irrelevant.

For the latest Ubuntu package names/versions changed to:

apt-get -y install libwxgtk3.0-dev libgl1-mesa-dev libglu1-mesa-dev libpng-dev
