That's what Ralf and I suggested all along. By the way, the problem is
that most of the web developers don't know anything about IT. I guess
most of them use Windows (and you can't expect a Windows user to
compile stuff), and the majority of the other half uses Ubuntu and
never even saw the shell, they're using Ubuntu Software Centre. I'm not
talking about those who go to conferences, but the vast majority of PHP
coders who never wrote a single bit of native code and never had to
compile anything.

We're not talking here writing code in C. We're talking here typing
"configure" in shell, hitting enter, then typing "make" in shell, then
hitting enter. It's not really *that* hard. OK, there are all kinds of
envt problems and so on that could happen, but on standard Linux with
standard libs that's pretty much it.

But if even that is too hard, how about making something like spec file
for RPM and a script that d/ls a snapshot and then builds a RPM from it?
Installing RPM shouldn't be too hard?
