Mainly because 6.8.2 is installed on my Ubuntu system using a
pre-compiled package (including a bunch of pre-compiled libraries).
I much prefer to use the the native packaging system because most
of the time it works so much better than anything else.

Also, the "extra work" became a few minor tweaks to this code:
