Try this line instead:

sudo apt-get install gpsman gpsmanshp libpcre3-dev libproj0
libproj-dev libdb5.1-dev python-dev libax25-dev shapelib libshp-dev
festival festival-dev libmagickcore-dev libgeotiff-dev

There is no proj package, but it doesn't seem to be needed.  I think
libproj0 will automatically be picked up by libproj-dev, but I
included it above just in case.  The above worked for me, but I used
graphicsmagick instead of imagemagick, so my "magick" development
package was different.
