Pacemaker's dependencies are listed at:

https://github.com/ClusterLabs/pacemaker/blob/master/INSTALL.md

Some of the package names may be different on Ubuntu. Unless you are
looking for specific features, I'd go with whatever stock packages are
available for libqb and corosync.

knet will be supported by corosync 3 and is bleeding-edge at the moment
(though probably solid). If you do want to compile libqb and/or
corosync, the guide on the wiki grabs the latest master branch of the
various projects using git; I'd recommend downloading source tarballs
of the latest official releases instead, as they will be more stable.
