On a Debian (derived) system just install libsubunit-dev. If you are trying to build a Debian package add this to the Build-Depends.

How to gather this knowledge

apt-file search libsubunit

will tell you in what package the missing library can be found.

Kind regards

i've removed subunit temporarily since it breaks on osx and older versions of ubuntu. I'll have to think about this one.
