Not much to say here just some cautionary notes.

Installed Libraries

The package configure scripts fails to inform the developer if the following packages are not installed:

You should be sure they are installed before attempting to build the package from source.

There may be other packages that should be installed that I may have had installed, so didn't notice them missing, or may be required for certain features to be enabled. With what I added above everything compiled and installed properly.

Build Options

The following options are recommended in the MonetDB build instructions, but you have to search for them.

./configure --prefix='/usr/local/MonetDB' --enable-debug=no --enable-assert=no --enable-optimize=yes

Account Setup

Be sure you create user and group accounts for monet and assign them to the /usr/local/MonetDB or whatever the path you have chosen.
