Hello all,
I am actually not a new Ubuntu user but this seemed to be the appropriate category to create the topic.
How to install .deb packages and .sh installation is obviously very easy.
For the last 2 or so years I always had trouble to install from a .tar.gz source.
The procedure to install via ./configure and so on and so forth is obvious but most times there are dependencies missing.
For example I was about to install a program (cinepaint) today and got this output
It does not say which names the dependency packages have and also the INSTALL file does not always help. This Program Cinepaint now was just an example so I do not need an explicit explanation how to install it, I want to know in general what do I have to do if the worst case happens -> ./configure tells you dependencies are missing and the INSTALL file does not help you.Configuration Results

What do I have to do in that case?
This bothers me for many years and I have never been able to find a solution :/
Thank you all in advance
