I wrote earlier:

I also use Gnu/Linux systems and usually compare problems when they come up to see if I can reproduce the difficulty on Linux.

Heh heh. No, this time I didn't do that. Should have, but didn't.

What's strange is that I didn't spot any error failures in the screen output aside from missing prerequisites. It was almost as if we have a circular dependency situation.

There was a typo in my OP. I stated:

When I try to build the two required modules alone, I can't get a successful installation.

Sorry, that ought to have been: When I try to build (each of) the two required modules alone, I can get a successful installation. Again, sorry for the confusion.
