This version of tinc relies on the GNU Multi-Precision Library
 | 
			
		||||
(gmp). This library is available from your nearest GNU mirror. Please
 | 
			
		||||
install this first even before trying to run configure. If you don't

do this, configure will (hopefully) mention it to you.

Requirements
 | 
			
		||||
------------
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
Since 1.0pre3, we use OpenSSL for all cryptographic functions.  So you
 | 
			
		||||
need to install this library first; grab it from
 | 
			
		||||
http://www.openssl.org/.  We recommend version 0.9.5 or better.  If
 | 
			
		||||
this library is not installed on you system, configure will fail.  The
 | 
			
		||||
manual in doc/tinc.texi contains more detailed information on how to
 | 
			
		||||
install this library.
