Well, of course, I got things to install, so I don't have the output
any more. Sorry. The problem is that when I run into this sort of
thing, I keep tinkering around, assuming an error on my part. It isn't
until I've fruitlessly exhausted all other options that I realize the
error would have been worth saving.

I'll keep the command though. All the installing I've done is just a
bunch of dependencies for another program that I'm trying to build
from source. It actually hasn't worked yet, so there could be more
issues.
