       <b>Prerequisites.</b>
-      CXML needs the <a href="http://www.cliki.net/Puri">puri</a> library

+      In addition,
+      <a href="http://www.cliki.net/closure-common">closure-common</a>
+      is required, which is a separate module in cxml CVS (see above for

       <b>Compiling and loading CXML.</b>
       Register the .asd file, e.g. by symlinking it:
     </p>
-    <pre>$ ln -sf `pwd`/cxml.asd /path/to/your/registry/
-$ ln -sf `pwd`/runes.asd /path/to/your/registry/</pre>
+    <pre>$ ln -sf `pwd`/cxml/cxml.asd /path/to/your/registry/
+$ ln -sf `pwd`/closure-common/closure-common.asd /path/to/your/registry/</pre>
     <p>Then compile CXML using:</p>
     <pre>* (asdf:operate 'asdf:load-op :cxml)</pre>
