 ### I get lots of compile errors indicating that files are missing. How do I fix this?
 
-SomaticSniper requires that it be linked to an old version of samtools (v0.1.6). This typically happens because you have attempted to link to a newer version. As of version [1.0.3](https://github.com/genome/somatic-sniper/releases/tag/v1.0.3), SomaticSniper will take care of this during the compilation process.

As of version [1.0.3](https://github.com/genome/somatic-sniper/releases/tag/v1.0.3), SomaticSniper includes samtools as part of its build process and you do not need to download samtools yourself.
 
 ### I get errors from cmake about missing modules. How do I fix this?
 
 As of commit [09ef624](https://github.com/genome/somatic-sniper/commit/09ef624e5bb275e0fd62396a14a878711e746cb9) or version [1.0.4](https://github.com/genome/somatic-sniper/releases/tag/v1.0.4), this should no longer be an issue and tarballs from github should function as intended. In earlier versions, SomaticSniper contained a git submodule called build-common. This submodule contains helper modules for cmake. If you downloaded the source as a tarball from github or forgot to do a recursive clone using git, then you will not have this submodule and will see cmake errors. If you are using git, we recommend you go back and use the --recursive option when cloning the SomaticSniper repository. If you cannot use git, follow the instructions below to remedy the situation.
 
 1. Download the build-common module separately [here](https://github.com/genome/build-common/tarball/master).
-2. Extract that tarball and rename the directory it creates to 'build-common'.

 3. Replace the empty build-common subdirectory in the sniper directory with directory you just created.
 4. Resume following the build instructions.
