Description
Kevin Buckley suggested a couple of fixes to the documentation.
First, the README text refers to outdated versions of the libraries.
Second, it would be good to have a suggestion in the README and the User's Guide on how to deal with gfortran library difficulties. This should include the -lgfortran
example and so on.

Perhaps add a note about setting the LD_LIBRARY_PATH for local installations?

Should also add some notes about the way to build with gfortran in a non-standard location (see #212).
Perhaps add these two things to a section in Appendix A on 'Solving common build problems'?

Added a section to Appendix A that details a few of these problems: libraries not being found, non-standard locations for system libraries (such as gfortran and X11), and the -R option.
Note that the last one probably won't be an issue since we are now linking with g++, but will probably leave it there for the time being.
The first was fixed in [1292].
