 this is why, especially while installing software the "hard way", you
should not be doing/thinking about more than one thing ;-)

 For more than one good reason I like to know what the installation
assumptions are and how my baseline relates to them. Also, I have 0
zero trust towards anything Internet or being transferred over it.

 Now I have another "GLIB_CFLAGS and GLIB_LIBS" related problem:
~
. . .
checking what version string to use... 1.6.2
checking whether to build the browser plugin... yes
checking for pkg-config... no
checking for GLIB... no
configure: error: in `/home/debian/inst/sw/icedtea/icedtea-web-1.6.2':
configure: error: The pkg-config script could not be found or is too
old.  Make sure it
is in your PATH or set the PKG_CONFIG environment variable to the full
path to pkg-config.

Alternatively, you may set the environment variables GLIB_CFLAGS
and GLIB_LIBS to avoid the need to call pkg-config.
See the pkg-config man page for more details.

To get pkg-config, see <http://pkg-config.freedesktop.org/>.
See `config.log' for more details

 I will publically post my installation logs  so you are bothered a little less
