+Make sure you have the fate-suite samples and the @code{SAMPLES} Make variable

+@section Why is @code{make fate} not finding the samples?

+Do you happen to have a @code{~} character in the samples path to indicate a
+home directory? The value is used in ways where the shell cannot expand it,
+causing FATE to not find files. Just replace @code{~} by the full path.
