+<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
