The _libraries and apps_ are installed, not the _headers_.

The problem is that TCONF should return 0 (in this case the library's  
functionality isn't available on the running system, so the tests  
can't be run).

I don't see a problem with this 'error' -- the problem I see that  
needs to be rectified is the -devel packages need to be installed on  
the machine.
