The solution to library hell is to use packages for your distribution from the distributor or a third party. Debian users can "apt-get install pcb" and get a working installation guaranteed.
That's fine for Debian, but what about SuSE, Red Hat, AIX, Solaris, Slackware, HPuX, Tru64, Mandrake, BSD, and so on?
having discovered the ease of using apt-get on fedora, this argument has holes in it.
apt is a fedora extra, but yum is in the base package and appears to achieve the same thing. I reckon apt is a valid solution.
