<listitem><para>The <command>xmllint</command> and
<command>xsltproc</command> programs to build this manual and the

the <link

XSL stylesheets</link> and optionally the <link

schemas</link>. Note that these are only required if you modify the
manual sources or when you are building from the Git
repository.</para></listitem>
<listitem><para>Recent versions of Bison and Flex to build the
parser. (This is because Nix needs GLR support in Bison and
reentrancy support in Flex.) For Bison, you need version 2.6, which
can be obtained from the <link
xlink:href="ftp://alpha.gnu.org/pub/gnu/bison">GNU FTP
server</link>. For Flex, you need version 2.5.35, which is
available on <link
xlink:href="http://lex.sourceforge.net/">SourceForge</link>.
Slightly older versions may also work, but ancient versions like the
ubiquitous 2.5.4a won't. Note that these are only required if you
modify the parser or when you are building from the Git
repository.</para></listitem>
