     If you downloaded a tarball, unpack it.
 
-    If you're pulling from CVS, check out and run bootstrap.  This
-    requires Autoconf and Automake to be installed.
+    If you cloned a git repository, run bootstrap.  This requires
+    recent versions of Autoconf and Automake to be installed.  See
+    also doc/contributing.
 
 (2) Building a server
 
-    Requirements: GNU make and, ANSI C, a curses library, Perl, nroff
-    or GNU troff (`groff'), Bourne Shell and the common utilities.
+    Prerequisites: IEEE Std 1003.1-2001 (POSIX.1-2001) with the X/Open
+    System Interfaces Extension, GNU make, Perl, and either nroff or
+    GNU troff (`groff').
 
     See file `INSTALL' for detailed compilation and installation
     instructions.  Quick guide for the impatient: run configure; make;
     make install.  The last step is optional; everything runs fine
     right from the build tree.
 
+    If configure reports "readline: no" in its configuration summary,
+    fancy line editing doesn't work in the client.  Commonly caused by
+    not having development libraries installed.  On Linux, try
+    installing readline-devel.
+
+    If configure reports "terminfo: no" in its configuration summary,
+    highlighting doesn't work in the client.  Commonly caused by not
+    having development libraries installed.  On Linux, try installing
+    ncurses-devel.
+
     If make fails without doing anything, you're probably not using
     GNU make.  Some systems have it installed as `gmake'.
 
+    Solaris supports POSIX.1-2001, but you need to set up your
+    environment for that.  Try
+
+        SHELL=/usr/xpg4/bin/sh
+        PATH=/usr/xpg6/bin:/usr/xpg4/bin:/usr/ccs/bin:$PATH
+
+    See standards(5) for details.
+
+    Likewise, AIX needs XPG_SUS_ENV=ON.
