What distro are you running? Either I am very spoilt with Arch (+AUR) or this is way off the mark.

Really depends on the package. I’ve had programs that take about a day to install, because the source wasn’t really portable and I really needed to get it to build, and I’ve had programs that are just five commands and it runs. It’s more work if you get the source from upstream than if you get it from ports or Portage or the AUR.
