Build problems

Hi, I'me trying to build ginac and am having problems getting 'configure' to find the readline and cln libraries. I've installed them in directories (non-standard since I'm not root) under my account. I just can't figure out how to tell configure/make to look there. I've tried the suggestion in Section 3.2 of the tutorial but the syntax given doesn't work. I've tried adding "LDFLAGS = $(LDFLAGS) /my/lib/dir" to all of the Makefile.in files but no luck again. I'm not familiar with autoconf so I'm not sure which files I should try tweeking. Can you offer any suggestions? Thanks ~ pat <notz@purdue.edu>
