Required packages *must* be installed before the package you're trying to build - generally, the build will fail unless you have them. For recommended/optional packages, the build won't fail if they're not installed first, but you'll end up with an installation missing whatever functionality those packages provided.. Installing them later will not usually allow an already installed package to make use of them (unless you reinstall that package). (There are exceptions to this, but they're fairly uncommon, and don't really matter). Simon.
