 standard MakeMaker installation (Perl)
 --------------------------------------
 
+To use MakeMaker, you need to ensure ExtUtils::MakeMaker is available.
+This is typically installed with Perl, but RPM-based systems will likely
+need to install the `perl-ExtUtils-MakeMaker' package.
+
 Once the dependencies are installed, you should be able to build and
 install the system (into /usr/local) with:
 
         perl Makefile.PL
-        make
+        make # GNU make is preferred, `gmake' on BSD systems
         make test
         make install # root permissions may be needed
