I tried to install 0.6.0 on my RH6.0 linux system. I got these errors:

This is a known bug that has already been fixed.
Also, after `make install' I found that my programs would not compile because version.h had not been copied to /usr/local/include/ginac. I had to do this by hand, then my programs would compile.
This is an unknown bug I have just fixed. I guess we should upload a package where those problems are fixed today.
Also, I have a problem with cout<<(log(1+2*x)/2).series(x==0,n); which does not produce its output in ascending order of powers.
This is not a bug, it's a feature (tm). The order in which terms are printed is the raw order, determined by their hash-values. When you print a pseries object, it just converts everything to a polynomial. It can become even somewhat more surprising, as commented in the method: void pseries::print(ostream &os, unsigned upper_precedence) const { debugmsg("pseries print", LOGLEVEL_PRINT); // This could be made better, since series expansion at x==1 might print // -1+2*x+Order((-1+x)^2) instead of 1+2*(-1+x)+Order((-1+x)^2), which is // correct but can be rather confusing. convert_to_poly().print(os, upper_precedence); } Maybe somebody should write something more elaborate here?
