It seems to me that binary distributions are not guaranteed to be able to build some optional packages. There were numerous reports on sage-support, and here is another example: http://trac.sagemath.org/ticket/18198
However, reading http://sagemath.org/doc/installation/quick-guide.html gives you a false impression to this effect. Should the text in this link be adjusted to tell people to use source distros?
