+  **NOTICE**: Deliantra uses an alternative signal stack, so you have to

   Furthermore, you will need the following programs and libraries:
-     - gperf, the GNU perfect hash generator

+     - pngnq >= v0.4 (http://freshmeat.net/redir/pngnq/53146/url_homepage/pngnq.html)
+     - rsync >= v2.6 (a must have anyways)
   Your compiler must support the Library Technical Report 1 extensions and
   the upcoming typeof extension. The GNU C++ compiler >= version 4.0 does
-  support these.
+  support all these.
+  On Debian GNU/Linux, you might get away with something like this for many of the

+  apt-get install gperf optipng pngnq rsync imagemagick libglib2.0-dev libpng12-dev
+  apt-get install libpod-pom-perl libsafe-hole-perl libevent-perl
+  If you want to get sensible backtraces for error conditions at runtime
+  to be logged you also need the external addr2line program (part of GNU
+  binutils) in your PATH.

 REPORTING BUGS
   First, check the INSTALL file for common problems, and see if yours is
   mentioned.
   Bugs should be filed using the following email address:
