Right - if you don't have Triangle enabled, we can't run programs
which require Triangle.

I'm afraid this is a misleading comment: "--enable-strict-lgpl" is the
*default*, because we don't want to make it easy for users to get into
licensing trouble by accident.  You need to specify
"--disable-strict-lgpl" if you want non-LGPL-licensing-compatible
third party libraries incorporated into your libMesh build.
