Yes, probably there are some dependencies missing in the slave

But definitively, this would mean that it would fail building the

compile + install".

Probably offtopic in this thread, but this reminds me that it would be
good to make a general review on the RHEL5, in order, to at least,
have installed all the required dependencies, as it is being done
