I had no problems compiling, it behaved exactly as the instructions I  
was working from said it should.
Had it not been so, I wouldn't have gotten to the point where I looked  
more deeply into it.

I'm not necessarily a good person to ask these questions of however, I  
haven't done any non-web based development since the early 90's...  
Never really got my head into the linux thing.  After punchcard  
programming in FORTRAN in the 70s, the apple/BASIC world seemed so  
much easier, and the Mac the natural extension of that ease of use.

Tons of development with Applescript, shell, Expect/TCL, Bunch of web  
design on the fledgling internet trying to monetize and commercialize  
it (a year too early to market, we couldn't convince businesses that  
enough people would have access tot he internet from their homes).

So other than interpreted languages, I've had minimal experience with  
compiled language development.  The initial vision of computers was  
that they would make life easier.  I've been spoiled in the apple  
world with installers that work within that vision.  Everytime I have  
to install any unix based software, it makes me angry that that vision  
hasn't been as fully embraced as I would have expected.  We still seem  
trapped in the 70's in that regard.  In my view, the 2 things  
hampering Linux making a huge inroad into the home is the interface  
and the installation process.  Those 2 things sorted out, Linux and  
freeBSD could wipe out all of the competition.  I'd love to see that.
