That's the fun of life. Anyway, would be fine to make a little investigation
in this direction, prior to install. Almost all apps have manuals and depend
lists in readme or similar. I recall myself, when I installed tones of libs,
just to have not so useful program, that I removed few days later. Some sys-
tems have ports and all info in "Makefile" and "pkg-descr". Not linux, you
know. Debian gives it, when you try to find app in repository.
I want to say that you could automate the process, for the sake of your nervs.
