Lucky you!! Only one dependency! This could have definately been worse
like shareutils needs 3 other things and each of those need 2. Great to
hear!!

To clear things up for you....the ./configure usually checks to see what
your system configuration is, paths to files and drivers and if they're
installed or not. After a successful configure, the "make" (usually sym
for "make all") is the "compile" and would have code in it that calls a
C compiler or something. After that is usually the "make install" or
"make uninstall" which just places or removes the files that were
compiled or built in a path determined during the ./configure.
Just figured I'd yak as you said "the 'make' successfully completed"
after shareutils and then said "off I go towards compiling".
HTH!
