-Welcome to wxWindows 2.0, the premiere cross-platform C++ framework. This is an index of
-the plain text and HTML documentation. Documentation is also available in Acrobat (PDF) and Windows Help,
-from the <a href="http://wxwin.home.ml.org">wxWindows Web site</a>.<P>
+Unless you installed a binary version of wxWindows using RPMs,
+you will probably have to compile the wxWindows library first.
+Please read the platform-specific readme.txt and install.txt
+for how to do this.
