there is no way for a app to install dependencies on the system, instead 
the app is supposed to ship those missing dependencies in the click 
package itself.
You can install libraries and binaries you need into the click package:
Libraries go to: <click_root>/lib/arm-linux-gnueabihf
Binaries go to : <click_root>/lib/arm-linux-gnueabihf/bin

Those paths are for armhf only of course. For other architectures just 
insert the correct gnu triplet.

LD_LIBRARY_PATH and PATH are set correctly by the system when starting 
your app.
Common practice is to install the dependencies you need into your build 
chroot and copy the libraries over when "make install" is executed.

If you need more help you can always find people on IRC in 
#ubuntu-app-devel. You can also ping me there, my nick is "zbenjamin".
Or just reply here ;).

Best regards,

Benjamin
