Compile Installation step failed

When I run Compile, it always eventually fails with "Installation step
failed."

I attempted to run `InstallPackage ConfigTools` but it failed.
Unfortunately the error has scrolled off the screen so I can't report it
here but I believe it was either the same error that Compile gives when it
got to libgpg-error, or else it was a missing dependency for libgpg-error.
I started trying to compile dependencies manually. Running `Compile
libgpg-error` appears to work but results in:

UnionSandbox: Cleaning up.
UnionSandbox: Moving entries to:
/Programs/LibGPG-Error/1.12/.SandboxInstall_Root
SandboxInstall: Postprocessing Sandbox
SandboxInstall: Left over files:
usr/
usr/etc
usr/etc/wgetrc
Compile: Restoring safe copy *
Compile: LibGPG-Error 1.12 - Installation step failed.

Using the verbose option with Compile does not give different output for
this part.

I attempted to continue manually installing dependencies in case it could
succeed enough for ConfigTools to work (whatever that means). I downloaded
source for gnupg-2.0.25 and pth-2.0.7 and compiled them with  standard
configure, make, install. I believe running configure for gnupg reported
missing dependency of pth.

I manually built gnupg because I thought installing SSL support might fix
this issue. This is because when I run Compile on a fresh GoboLinux
installation, it fails with the error that wget is not found. This is
apparently correct: Compile requires wget, and GoboLinux does not come with
wget. It does come with curl, though, so I used curl to download and build
wget. The configure script for wget fails because GnuTLS is not found, so I
ran configure with --without-ssl, which worked. I ran Compile gnutls, which
failed from missing dependency gnupg.

After repeated attempts to Compile, InstallPackage, PrepareProgram for
ConfigTools and various dependencies, InstallPackage ConfigTools appears to
have succeeded. I don't know how to verify this, as I don't know what
ConfigTools actually is or does, I just thought it sounded useful because
of the name.

I have found discussions about this error in mailing list archives and
Google search, but all were several years old and I don't know enough about
GoboLinux to understand what to do.
