 Here's a list of not so common problems that you might encounter when building WHIZARD that didn't make it into the [source:/trunk/INSTALL INSTALL file].
+
+=== Compiling in the Source Directory ===
+If you don't take advantage of the possibility to keep your WHIZARD sources pristine by compiling in a different directory, you may encounter the following error:
+{{{
+...
+libtool: compile:  gfortran45 -I../misc -I../vamp -g -O2 -c processes.f90  -fPIC -o .libs/processes.o
+libtool: compile:  gfortran45 -I../misc -I../vamp -g -O2 -c processes.f90 -o processes.o >/dev/null 2>&1
+make[2]: *** No rule to make target `limits.lo', needed by `decays.lo'.  Stop.
+...
+make: *** [all-recursive] Error 1
+}}}
+In this case, please unpack a fresh copy of WHIZARD and configure it in a separate directory (not necessarily a subdirectory).  Then the compilation will go through
+{{{
+$ zcat whizard-2.0.0.tar.gz | tar xf - 
+$ cd whizard-2.0.0
+$ mkdir _build
+$ cd _build
+$ ../configure FC=gfortran-4.5
+$ make
+}}}
+(The developers use this setup to be able to test different compilers.  Therefore building in the same directory is not as thoroughly tested.)
