+Please note that unlike most packages, if you want to run the ``make check``
+command, you should run it only *after* having done ``make install``.  The
+latter ensures that necessary binaries are copied to the right place.
+
+Gratuitous editorial note by TTN: I think this is a quirk that we should
+fix in the long-term as such weirdness might hide other build issues.
+However, this is probably a minority viewpoint.
+
+In any case, if ``make check`` fails, please consider filing a
+bug report with the Taler `bug tracker <https://bugs.taler.net>`__.
