Someday it was the first time for all of us.

Yes and no. What do you mean with automatically? Those tools
involved produce that output automatically, yes. But to use
them within a homepage, you have to catch them by hand:

  ./configure ... > ./logfile 2>&1

will display nothing but store everything in a logfile (you
should consult your shell's manpage and search for I/O
redirection).

It's very usefull when asking other people for help since
only the complete and exact error message shows the details
necessary to find the root of the problem.

HTH,
Cheers, Rocco
