+*** Conflict between =ctags= and emacs's =etags= binary
+If you installed =emacs= from source after =ctags=, your original =ctags= binary
+is probably replaced by emacs's =etags=. To get around this you will need to
+configure =emacs= as following before installing:
+
+#+begin_src sh
+  ./configure --program-transform-name='s/^ctags$/ctags.emacs/'
+#+end_src
+
+To check if you have the correct version of =ctags= execute:
+
+#+begin_src sh
+  ctags --version | grep Exuberant
+#+end_src
+
+If yo do not get any output then it means you have the wrong =ctags= and must
+install it again.
+
 ** Emacs Configuration
 To use this configuration layer, add it to your =~/.spacemacs=. You
 will need to add =gtags= to the existing =dotspacemacs-configuration-layers=.
