Well a screenreader. Yes, ok. A nomral app no.It will usually be in the repo though and building from source is not too bad if you have too..
A build can be successfully made with just a simple make make test and make install, but if it gives errors, and under Linux very often appear those errors when compiling, due to missing libs or programs, sometimes is very hard to understand which lib is missing, or to understand that a certain lib is present but it is an older version and it doesn't work with the program you want to install.
Yes, its sometimes good to pipe stderr or to carefully review stdout output. You are probably just best piping these (stdout and stderr) to a text file...
