There is another issue I find highly annoying and too difficult to resolve for an average linux user: configure does not complain load enough if certain packages / header files are missing. It is not clear which packages one has to install. (I sent a list once, but it would be much better if configure would say: necessary libraries missing: xxx.h, yyy.h, ... libraries missing for hyperdoc / graphics: zzz.h, ... (the latter is in fact issued by configure / wh-sandbox, but buried in many many other messages) I still have colleagues who tried to install wh-sandbox but didn't succeed. Of course, there is the mailing list, but many just don't bother / are too shy / don't know what to do / etc...
