It is not installed by default but available in Suse Linux (since a longer time) but it is not available for the Suse Linux Enterprise Server/Desktop and I cannot have an idea what will be available on third-party products which are based upon a Suse Linux OEM version. If you make it optional (i.e. support both "configure=>make=>checkinstall" and "configure=>make=>make install/make uninstall") there is no need to care very much about whether or not ist is installed/available. By the way: "make install" might do other stuff beside plain file installing (e.g. start a daemon, create a special daemon-user account, ...) and "make uninstall" could easily undo such other stuff. Can checkinstall do the same?
