+### C Toolchain
+
+Some of the libraries Routinator depends on require a C toolchain to be
+present. Your system probably has some easy way to install the minimum
+set of packages to build from C sources. If you are unsure, try to run
+`cc` on a command line and if there’s a complaint about missing input

 ### Rust
 
-While some system distributions include Rust as system packages,
-Routinator relies on a relatively new version of Rust, currently 1.30 or
-newer. We therefore suggest to use the canonical Rust installation via a
-tool called *rustup.*
+The Rust compiler runs on, and compiles to, a great number of platforms.
