-<P>The code is maintained as a set of files and headers assembled via a
-Makefile. We realise that this configuration is not satisfactory, and we
-will migrate to a more coherent code management scheme in due time.
+<P>The code is maintained under <a href="http://www.cyclic.com/">cvs</a>.
+The cvs repository will be made public soon.

of the ALICE software should install the code locally according to the
procedure described in the next chapter.
-<p>As of writing the code has been tested on HP-UX 10.2, Linux 5.1 and
-Solaris. Porting to other platforms and compilers will take place.

+<h3>Notice for Linux users</h3>
+
+<p>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.
+
+<p>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:
+
+<p><pre>
+touch dummy.cxx
+g++ -v dummy.cxx
+</pre>
+
+<p>and looking at the output between the lines:
+
+<p><pre>
+#include <...> search starts here:
+.
+.
+.
+.
+End of search list.
+</pre>
