On the contrary, displaying meaningful error messages from configure is 
*never* a "noise". As Fabian pointed out - quite rightly - if make fails 
due to wrong/incorrect/missing dependencies then it is a bug in 
configure, no ifs, no buts, therefore displaying an error messages when 
some of the headers/libs are missing or misplaced makes perfect sense.
