-FlightGear is dependent on quite a few number of libraries.  You do not need to compile all of them yourself, but you will at least need to have their development version installed.  For example, the development version for package plib1.8.5 is plib1.8.5'''-dev'''.
+FlightGear is dependent on quite a few number of libraries.  You do not need to compile all of them yourself, but you will at least need to have their development version installed.  For example, the development version for package <tt>plib1.8.5</tt> is <tt>plib1.8.5</tt>'''-dev'''.
 The dependency is summarized in the following tree.  Please note that each library has its own dependencies, and most of these are not shown here.

-**** For versions pre March 2008: (Free)GLUT or SDL (We recommend the use of SDL over Free/GLUT, [http://www.mail-archive.com/flightgear-devel@lists.sourceforge.net/msg16153.html however since March 2008, FreeGLUT as well as SDL are both considered deprecated, please only use --enable-osgviewer during configuration instead])

 If you attack the above dependencies in the order listed below, you should be good:
-. Glut. Most distributions include glut packages, although you may have to hunt for them. Make sure you install both the glut and glut-devel packages, otherwise FlightGear may be able to compile but won't run correctly.

+# <tt>zlib</tt> Most distributions install the basic <tt>zlib</tt> libraries by default, but not the development portions. If you don't have <tt>zlib.h</tt>, you probably need to install the <tt>zlib-devel</tt> package for your distribution.
-. Zlib. Most distributions install the basic zlib libraries by default, but not the development portions. If you don't have zlib.h, you probably need to install the zlib-devel package for your distribution.

-. Plib - portability libraries and scene graph.
+# <tt>simgear</tt> Simulation support libraries. If you are building FlightGear from Git, you need the Git version of SimGear. If you have strange build errors, one of the first things to check is that you have an up-to-date version of SimGear built and installed.
