 ## Cannot compile igraph from sources on Linux
 
 Since CRAN does not provide binary packages for Linux, Linux users usually need to compile igraph from sources. In order to do so, make sure that you have all the prerequisites:
 
- - C, C++ and Fortran compilers. On Debian-based distros, use `sudo apt install build-essential gfortran`.
- - Development packages for `libxml2` and `glpk`. On Debian-based distros, use `sudo apt install libxml2-dev libglpk-dev`.
+ - C, C++ and Fortran compilers. On Debian-based distros, use `sudo apt install build-essential gfortran`. On Fedora, use `yum install gcc gcc-c++ gcc-gfortran`.
