 \item \textbf{lex/yacc} or \textbf{flex/bison}: These are quite common developing tools, code generators for lexical analyzers and parsers. This is a prerequisite for UG.
 
-\item \textbf{boost}: The Boost-C++-Libraries. Install a  version $\geqslant 1.33.1$. The \Dumux property system and {\Dune}-Multidomaingrid make use of \texttt{libboost}.

 \item \textbf{BLAS}: Alberta makes use of BLAS. Thus install libGOTO, ATLAS, non-optimized BLAS or BLAS by chipmanufacturer. Take care that the installation scripts select the intended version of BLAS. 
 
 \item \textbf{METIS}: This is a dependency of ALUGrid. If you run it parallel this part is being used to partition your grid.

 the license is not open. For research and education it is possible to obtain a copy without additional costs.
 A Fortran compiler like \texttt{gfortran} is needed to compile it.
 
-\item \textbf{make, autogen, automake, libtool}: You can make use of the gnu version of \texttt{make}. The other tools are also gnu building tools and they are required to build most of the \Dune and \Dumux code. 
-\texttt{autogen} and \texttt{automake} are referred to as \texttt{autotools}.

 \item \textbf{\LaTeX, doxygen}: In order to build the \Dumux documentation these tools are needed.  
 \LaTeX\ is a front-end to the \TeX\ font setting system. Install texlive for example. A great part of the code documentation is done inline using doxygen, which extracts the documentation and makes HTML or \LaTeX\ out of that.
