The Gem problem seems to be worse than just these system depends
issues, at least for me.

I get an 'undefines symbol' error when using -lib Gem and this version
of glut (3.7-13):

/usr/lib/pd/extra/Gem.pd_linux: /usr/lib/libglut.so.3: undefined
symbol: glXBindChannelToWindowSGIX
Gem: can't load library
pd: exiting

...solvable only by forcing an install of the redhat 8.0 rpm version of
glut (3.7-8), then rebuilding gem and forcing it's install (--nodeps
--force).  This fixes things temporarily, though it is a kludge and
also breaks apt updates :((

I found the "solution" here:
