 also [[download]] the source and install it by hand. Ikiwiki should work on
 most unix-like systems.
 
+## Dependencies

 Ikiwiki is a perl program, and needs a recent version of perl such as
 5.10. (5.8.0 has been reported not to work).
 
+It's recommended you have a C compiler, as ikiwiki uses one to build
+wrappers.

 Ikiwiki requires the [[cpan Text::Markdown]], [[cpan URI]],
 [[cpan HTML::Parser]], [[cpan HTML::Template]], and [[cpan HTML::Scrubber]]
 perl modules be installed. It can also use a lot of other perl modules, if
 they are available.
