It seems that even the latest Slackware is missing a jillion

other versions of Linux. Are these self contained? Or do they need
the jillion libraries at runtime?
Here is the missing library list from my ./configure:
No package 'gdkmm-2.4' found
No package 'glibmm-2.4' found
No package 'gtkmm-2.4' found
No package 'sigc++-2.0' found
Most linux packages, and especially RPMs, are not stand-alone. Instead
they depend on other packages being installed. That way you can have
fifty different applications installed, but only one copy of a commonly
needed library.
