I would suggest to add something about "if you don't have pkg-config installed" (as you already discovered in an earlier mail onlist[1] ). I do see that we mention pkg-config elsewhere and I assume the same issue occur for all dependencies if you don't have pkg-config installed so maybe that is something that could go into section I.C.14? If you want to add the pkg-config related note under the Serf headline, maybe something like: "If you don't use pkg-config and serf is installed in a non-standard location, you should use" Whichever way you choose, you have my +1 to edit INSTALL as you see fit, either this patch or a variation thereof.
