+Notice for Linux users
+======================
+
+AliRoot requires the compiler system egcs 1.1.1 or later. Unfortunately the 
+location of the include files is dependent on the compiler version on Linux.
+While g++ knows the location of the files relative to its own version, but 
+this is not the case for the makedepend, that should be told where include
+files are. This is accomplished by the DEPINC variable in the file
+$ALIROOT/conf.
+
+In case several error message appear during the make phase, complaining for
+include files not found, the list of include directories in DEPINC should
+be compared with the standard list of the compiler, that can be found out
+with the following commands:
+
+touch dummy.cxx
+g++ -v dummy.cxx
+
+and looking at the output between the lines:
+
+#include <...> search starts here:

+End of search list.
