 2. **Install required C libraries**\
-   You might need to manually install some extra C libraries required by hledger's dependencies.
-    If you're not sure about this, proceed with the next step and return here if you get link errors

-   In particular the "-devel" packages for 
-   libstdc++ (for hledger-iadd),
-   ncurses (for hledger, hledger-ui),
-   and
-   zlib (for hledger-web)
-   are often required.
