Matthew,

I'm sorry for you. The INSTALL file is not targeting Redhat
systems only. The instructions are generic. And they will
remain as is. Instructions for specific systems could be
described in the project's wiki. That's done that way for the
ROHC library.

Yes. I have just added a new sentence in the INSTALL file that
reads: "Please install Cmake and any above dependencies from
sources or with your favorite package manager before going
further."

Cmake tells you that you miss a C++ compiler (first hit with Google
search). You can get rid of the warning by installing g++. However
IP/ROHC does not use C++, so I updated the Cmake config file to
disable that check. Thank you for reporting the problem!

> 3. Additionally the system requires you to install gnutls-dev NOT

A Redhat system requires you that, some other systems may requires
a gnutls-devel package, others may not require anything. It depends on
your system. I would welcome a new page on the wiki that describes the
specific installation steps for Redhat systems.

Regards,
Didier
