 These instructions are based on the generic GNU installation
 instructions, but they have been tailored for PSPP.
 
+Overview
+========
+
+PSPP uses the standard GNU configuration system.  Therefore, if all is well,
+the following simple procedure should work, even on non-GNU systems:
+
+ tar -xzf pspp-*.tar.gz
+ cd pspp-*
+ ./configure
+ make 
+ sudo make install
+
+Obviously, you should replace 'pspp-*' in the above, with the name of
+the tarball you are installing.  If any part of this process fails, then 
+it's likely that one or more of the necessary prerequisites is missing
+from your system.   Read on to find out how to correct this.
