    1717 * GDAL depends on GNUmake on Unix platforms.  Just get and install it if you don't already have it.  On Linux it is the default make.
    1818
    19  * GDAL shouldn't have many pre-requisite packages.  It includes built-in versions of libz, libtiff, libgeotiff, libpng, libgif, and libjpeg if pre-installed versions are not available (or not desirable). 
     19 * A basic GDAL build shouldn't have many pre-requisite packages.  GDAL includes built-in versions of libz, libtiff, libgeotiff, libpng, libgif, and libjpeg if pre-installed versions are not available (or not desirable). 
    2020
    21  * There are quite a few optional drivers that depend on "external libraries".  Use ''configure --help'' to see the configure options.  Some optional libraries include those for GRASS, FITS, OGDI, HDF4, JPEG2000 and ECW.

     23 * When using "pre-packaged" versions of dependencies like curl, Python, or HDF4, it is often necessary to install the -dev version of the package.  For instance on Ubuntu having libcurl3-gnutls is not sufficient.  The libcur3-gnutls-dev package is also required.  Configure may seem to succeed but later include files will come up missing during the build.
    2224
    2325 * check the output of configure carefully if there are any problems. The summary shows clearly what will be included in the build. The tests above can provide clues to an unexpected result.

    4042 * to add curl support, install the curl dev package in addition to the existing curl
    41 
    42  * for Python support you MUST install Python Dev and optionally NumPy dev (''recommeded'') see GdalOgrInPython for details
     43 * for Python support you MUST install Python Dev and optionally !NumPy dev (''recommeded'') see GdalOgrInPython for details
