Demonstrably untrue based on two and a half decades of experience. At least chasing lib dependencies for 18 hours during the config/make/make install process is mostly a thing of the past.

Do you have any broad advice on easing the config/make/make install process?

[thmcmahon → ez77]

apt-get install

[sagarun → thmcmahon]

or yum install, Where yum automatically resolves the dependencies for you. No more make && make install

[metabrew → sagarun]

Nothing to do.
