I occasionally have problems where a configure script complains about 
some or another dependency not being satisfied when it is, in fact, there, 
but the script is looking in the wrong place.

For instance, the script may be looking in /usr/lib for a file that is 
actually in /usr/local/lib; or, it may be looking for /usr/lib/whatever.so 
when the file is actually named /usr/lib/whatever.so.0 . A symbolic link 
or two will answer, once the "missing" file has been identified.

Few things annoy me as much as an error message that says "file not found" 
when it could just as easily say "file not found: /home/wzzz/somefile".
