\subsection faq_compiling Compiling SimGrid
+First of all, you need to download the latest version of SimGrid from
+<a href="http://gforge.inria.fr/frs/?group_id=12">here</a>.
Suppose you have uncompressed SimGrid in some temporary location of
your home directory (say <tt>/home/joe/tmp/simgrid-3.0.1 </tt>). The
simplest way to use SimGrid is to install it in your home
\verbatim export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$HOME/lib/:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
\endverbatim

+\subsection faq_compiling_cvs Compiling SimGrid from the CVS
+
+First of all, you need to get the "simgrid" module from
+<a href="http://gforge.inria.fr/scm/?group_id=12">here</a>.
+
+You won't find any <tt>configure</tt> and a few other things
+(<tt>Makefile.in</tt>'s, documentation, ...) will be missing as
+well. The reason for that is that all these files have to be
+regenerated using the latest versions of <tt>autoconf</tt>,
+<tt>automake</tt> (1.9) and <tt>doxygen</tt>. To generate the
+<tt>configure</tt> and the <tt>Makefile.in</tt>'s, you just have to
+launch the <tt>bootstrap</tt> command that resides in the top of the
+source tree. Then just follow the instructions of Section
+\ref faq_compiling.
+
+We insist on the fact that you really need the latest versions of
+autoconf and automake. Doing this step on exotic architectures/systems
+(i.e. anything different from a recent linux distribution) may be
+... uncertain. If you want to use the CVS version on another
+architecture/system, you should do the previous steps on a perfectly
+standard box, then do a <tt>make dist</tt> that will build you a
+perfectly portable SimGrid archive.

Do not build your simulator by modifying the SimGrid examples. Go
