Quite honstly, i think almost nobody should be installing libraries

from source. Rather, I think people should install the pre-packaged

library from their distribution.
The only exception to the above, is developers actually working on

the library and the hopefully rare cases where a developer needs to

test a bleedign edge version of a library that the distribution

has not yet packaged.
As a library author myself, the only two libraries on my system that

were installed from source are libsndfile and libsamplerate.
