Could that complicate things on Linux distros that use a package manager? If yo
u get the source and build it, the package manager would be unaware that that so
ftware is installed, so if you upgrade your OS to a newer version, that software
might no longer work as there may now be different versions of libraries instal
led that it's incompatible with, etc.. Also I imagine you could also (perhaps ac
cidentally) install the same packages from the package manager and cause issues,
maybe? And I'm not sure if there would be a clean way to remove it if you want
ed to.
