"apt-get install" is not the same as compile from source you are at the mercy of repositories "make install" on the other hand, gives you more freedom vim patching problem was kinda solved by using intrepid repo instead of hardy's ... but also gave birth to other problems To me, a unix system that is unable to compile from source (only binaries) is on the same level as windows even on mac, i can use port, it fetches the sources and dependencies, compiles everything, beautiful! NB: yes i did apt-get dev-compilers & libraries & dependencies shrug I guess Ubuntu is not there yet
