+Finding syminfo.lib
+-------------------
+The CCP4 libraries need to refer to symmetry information in a file called
+`syminfo.lib`. Unfortunately, they can only find this file if either `CLIBD`
+or `SYMINFO` are set in the environment. The CrystFEL GUI (`crystfel`),
+`get_hkl` and `mosflm` therefore all need this variable to be set. You could
+set this variable in your shell setup file (e.g. as part of a `module load`),
+or create wrapper scripts for these three programs. The `install-indexers`
+script, which assists with installing indexing engines, creates such a wrapper
+for Mosflm already.
