But again this may have been too optimistic still, and you actually
have to compile your own copies of some of the required libraries.
Things like libpng and zlib are pretty standard so you will probably
have them on your system anyway. Freetype, Fontinst, Cairo, Pango may
be installed, but it is possible that they are pretty old and thus

In order to build the libraries you need a compiler on your system.
