Comment (by chodgson):

 Virtually every packaging system includes the headers and other files
 required only for development/compiling in a separate package called
 "*-dev" or "*-devel". I think it might be worth revising the requirements
 section to include something along the lines of:

 "Some or all of these required software may be available through your
 O/S's package management system. If you choose to use to use packages
 provided by your O/S, will have less control over specific versions
 installed, but will have the advantages that your package manager
 provides. If you use your package manager to install the required
 software, note that you will likely also need the '-dev' or '-devel' add-
 on packages which includes the header files used for compiling."
