(this is not really on topic but....)

Not all distributions support 32bit version of all the libraries needed.  I 
have 64bit versions of OpenSuse 11.0 and Kubuntu 8.04 installed and i have 
had to manually install different 32 bit version of libraries on each system 
to resolve the dependencies of the second life viewer and SLVoice. Even after 
getting all the 32 bit libraries in place, I still can't hear or use the 
voice feature. 

What I getting at is that linux systems have a huge variety of options and 
differences that can be difficult to manage.

Having said that,  getting everything consolidated under an "easybuild" using 
cmake is a great idea, but should include EVERY component possible.
