+  =============================
+      Requirements
+  =============================
+
+      - QT: Qt 3.2.0 or above
+        ftp://ftp.trolltech.com/qt/source
+        MusE does _not_ compile with older versions
+        Please compile Qt3 with "-thread" option so you get
+        the qt-mt.so lib instead of qt.so
+        MAKE SURE YOU SET YOUR 'QTDIR' ENVIRONMENT VARIABLE
+
+      - ALSA 0.9.x or newer (cvs)
+        http://www.alsa-project.org/
+
+      - gcc 3.x.x
+        NOTE: you _must_ compile MusE with the same compiler
+                you used to compile QT
+
+      - libsndfile 1.0.1 (current 1.0.4)
+        http://www.zip.com.au/~erikd/libsndfile/
+
+      - Linux kernel with rtc (RealTimeClock) driver (device /dev/rtc)
+        (you may also apply "low latency patches" for low timing jitter)
+
+      - JACK
+	  http://jackit.sourceforge.net/download/
+
+      - fluidsynth-1.0.3 (formerly known as iiwusynth) from
+        http://savannah.nongnu.org/download/fluid
+
+      - of course: a soundcard and/or some midi gear
+      - (if you compile from cvs:) automake 1.7 and autoconf 2.54
+
+  =============================
+      Compiling:
+  =============================
+
+      - download source from http://lmuse.sourceforge.net/
+      - uncompress source:
+            bunzip2 muse-x.x.x.tar.bz2
+      - untar source:
+            tar xvof muse-x.x.x.tar </code>
+        or if you have a recent tar, you can combine both steps:
+            tar xvofj muse-x.x.x.tar.bz2
+
+      - enter dirctory muse-x.x.x:
+            MAKE SURE YOU SET YOUR 'QTDIR' ENVIRONMENT VARIABLE
+            run configure
+            run make all
+
+      - as root run:
+            make install
+        to install MusE
+
+  =============================
