Well, here's the thing:

Make any changes as needed for your system means just that. They don't know what your system is, so you have to make the required changes for them. There's a few things around with autoconfigure scripts and such, but it sounds like yours doesn't have one. Those are most common in the lpmud scene, and I've not seen them outside that much.

Unfortunately, make any changes as needed for your system also assumes you know enough linux to figure out what needs changing.

For errors you don't understand, I'd google them. .so file related errors are important, or so I should think; a .so file is kind of like a .dll on windows. I'd find out which .so files are being skipped. You may or may not be fine, but I'd still make sure I know what they're for.
