That's not the problem. The problem is the continued use of compiled
binaries,
especially closed sources products like Oracle. It would be EASY if they
used autoconf, make and source code.

<problem you have on windows machines... DLL hell. Oracle for example
is linked against a specific version number of a number of libraries.
and they only provide support for the "known to work" system.
The other major problem is that dependency of packages, in rpm etc,
are not as clear as most people think. (if you ever wondered it matches
strings describing packages and not actual files) As such, distributions
like Redhat are useful because everything is compiled against a common
set of libraries. You have a known state, and the strings are good enough>>
