In my experience, it usually fails because of missing dependencies like zlib-dev on my own system, but those are easy to fix, at which point I can rerun the bootstrap script.
Patches accepted.
Without digressing too much, I don't think much can be done here. I would not (and should not) expect the bootstrap.sh file to use apt to get the missing dependencies as I had to do. I don't think there's any general solution to this, beyond better error handling (which apparently you just improved). Jeff Wheeler
