I wonder if it is possible to create lists of requirements for different
versions of linux.

E.g. I've just tried adding may version of ctwm to a version of 64-bit
fedora 19, installed from the F19 XFCE live-CD.

Previously I had installed ctwm on fairly mature, running, installations.
This time, in order to get 'make' to work I had to install a larger collection
of libraries than I have needed in the past because some libraries had already
been installed for other reasons.

This was the list I needed (discovered painfully, step by step,
as 'make' repeatedly failed and I tried to find out what I had not
done).

     yum install \
        gcc glibc-devel \
        libXmu libXmu-devel libXpm-devel \
        libjpeg-turbo-devel \
        libX11-devel libXext-devel libXt-devel

That may not be a complete list of requirements.

Is there some way to include that as part of installation instructions for
fedora (and related) linux systems.

I presume there are fairly obvious equivalents for debian-based and other
versions.
