Ion doesn't have many non-standard dependencies. Most systems have X11R6 libraries installed, of which no particular version is needed (aside from bugs in some versions, in particular in relation to XGetTextProperty...). Some libc related aspects need to be configured in system.mk (some systems have some components sanely as separate, and others have monolithic libc), but aside from that, the only non-standard dependency that needs installation, is Lua. Lua is also quite easy to install: it has ANSI C as its only dependency. (However, some versions of Lua's Makefiles set broken permissions... But installing from ports or so may fix them.) -- Tuomo
