-Dependencies
-------------
+INSTALL:
 
 You need at least Perl 5.10. The Perl interpreter has to be compiled
 with threads support.
 
 You also need a working C compiler for the inline SHA1 C function.
-Currently this _must_ be gcc 4.3 callable as 'gcc-4.3'. This will be
-fixed soon.
+Although gcc 4.3 was specified by old versions of levitation-perl
+(circa May 2010), gcc 4.5.2 also appears to work (at least for some
+small wiki dumps).

+You need zlib, for example the following should work under Debian/Ubuntu:

 Some Linux distributions will already have the first set.
 Under Debian / Ubuntu the following command should set you:
