Hello all,
For those interested in factorization over finite fields, Victor Shoup's
library NTL (which is used as a module for some "world records"
established by MuPAD (if you can call it "established" (MuPAD as a mere
frontend))) has just been released by the author under the GPL license.
Of course, it is still a long way from there to factorization of
multivariate polynomials over ZZ but it may be start.
Regards
-rbk.

Dear ginac-bugs(a)ginac.de,
Installing GiNaC-0.5.4 on my redhat 6.0 system fails at the doc step:
make[3]: Entering directory `/home/kbriggs/GiNaC-0.5.4/doc/tutorial'
Running /usr/X11R6/bin/fig2dev -L eps -m 0.9 classhierarchy.fig classhierarchy.eps...
Unknown graphics language eps
Known languages are:
acad box epic eepic eepicemu gif ibmgl jpeg latex mf pcx pic pictex png ppm ps pstex pstex_t textyl tiff tk tpic xbm xpm
I upgraded my transfig package to the latest from redhat 6.1
(Release 3.2 Patchlevel 1), but it has the same problem.
Actually, changing the command to
fig2dev -L ps -m 0.9 classhierarchy.fig classhierarchy.eps
gives a perfectly good tutorial.ps.
Maybe the configure script should check whether the fig2dev version
installed knows about eps?
Best wishes,
Keith
