The website is broken, I get something that looks like raw JavaScript code:

array('c', '

\nThese instructions have been written for Rekall 2.2.x, and cover 
the\nprerequisites needed by Rekall,configuring and building Rekall, 
and\ninstallation. They apply to building Rekall under Linux; the author 
has\nno experience of building under other Unix\'s.\n

Same in Firefox, Opera and IE. In Safari the navigation doesn't work at all.
