Ack, I missed the other, completely identical issue (Issue 2).  Please close.

The libidn requirement is only mentioned in the fourth paragraph of the third 
section of the README (which is 
otherwise concerned with how to operate the tool, not how to build it).  
skipfish is very easy to build, but I think 
an INSTALL file would be useful for many.

It's sort of intentional; I want people to read the documentation, as there are 
several other important points raised there - e.g., dictionary configuration, 
optimal 
settings, etc. Plus, really, this is no different from any other source 
package, where 
you usually have to install dependencies working back from the compile-time 
errors.

going through the same process - you need to install libssl-dev and 
libidn11-dev (in
addition to libidn11, which you probably already worked out..) - shoudl build 
fine
after that..
