The source will never compile if the required development libraries are missing. By all probabilities, for most packages with configure script, it would get stuck in the Makefile creation itself. No self-compiled binary ever has a dependency problem unless you remove the shared libs later. This too can be overcome with a static compilation. The necessity for ldd should not arise ever, for any home grown stuff ...
