+**About dependencies:** pycounter uses
+`lxml <http://lxml.de/>`_, an XML parsing library with a C extension.
+It requires libxml2 and libxslt to be installed to build correctly.
+It may be helpful to install lxml manually before installing pycounter,
+either with the Windows binary installers,
+a linux distro package, or with macports or homebrew on OS X. See the
+`lxml installation docs <http://lxml.de/installation.html>`_ for more
+information.
