-  - Make sure JAVA_HOME is set (to JDK 7 for Greenstone 3.06) and that its ''bin'' folder is added to the PATH. If you're on a 64 bit machine you need a JDK for 64 bit machines, if you're on a 32 bit machine, you will need a JDK for 32 bit machines.

   - Most of the linux and mac machines we tested require the gnome-lib extension. Without it, if compiling fails with an error message about ''wvware'', then it means you need the gnome-lib extension. You can grab it by visiting http://trac.greenstone.org/browser/gs2-extensions/gnome-lib/trunk, selecting the link to the ''gnome-lib-minimal'' version for your operating system and architecture, then clicking on the download link on the subsequent page. Download it into your extracted Greenstone 3's ''gs2build/ext'' folder.   - Most of the linux and mac machines we tested require the gnome-lib extension.
