+These instructions assume you are using a bash shell. If you use csh/tcsh,
+then you can either type 'bash' to switch to bash for the compilation or if
+you know what you are doing just replace replace the export bits with
+setenv.
+
+We further assume that your copies of B<tar> and B<make> are actually B<GNU
+tar> and B<GNU make> respectively. It could be that they are installed as
+B<gtar> and B<gmake> on your system.
