Never had to do that sort of thing with the modern Linuxes. That's not to say that you might have to if you're building from scratch
a la Gentoo or have an unusual configuration.

Well, that's if you're going to compile it yourself like a true believer.
Most of the time these days there'll be a pre-compiled binary for your distro available and you can just click on the .rpm or .deb or whatever package and after giving an admin password away you go.
I haven't had to compile an app from source for quite a while.
Are you sure you're working with modern Linux distros Keef? All that stuff sounds like the way it was 5 or more years ago.
