I actually, never even noticed the -devel packages, and don't know
what they do. I strongly recommend compiling from source - I have to
stress that. The new autoconf system makes it extremely easy
(./configure --help for a list of options) and will increase your
stability, while decreasing the number of "it's because you
installed from a package" problems. And when you DO have problems,
it's much easier to troubleshoot. No offense intended to the
packagers - They do a good/necessary job.
