Actually, I wrote the message he was responding to, not the above comment.

I see the "it's simple, just compile this or that" for all kinds of things
in Linux land.

I submit that it is simple for those who are comfortable with compiling and
want to do so.

But, I don't think the majority of users ARE comfortable in that realm and
for them it just isn't simple...if it was the forums would be way smaller.

And it could be argued that they will create more headaches for themselves
if they just live with it until it is available with a few clicks from a
repository.
