time into factorization over Zp[x] by maybe implementing this in CLN -- which by the way would be a good place for factorization. Instead, maybe what should be done is use Victor Shoup's GPL'ed library NTL which seems to be the powerhorse in this field. I've played around with NTL a bit, and once you've got the hang of using

When it comes to factoring polynomials over Z[x] or Zp[x], NTL is the best tool you can get. So you could do a lot worse than integrate NTL in GiNaC. I don't know, though, how this integration should be done technically since NTL uses its own number classes that may confict with CLN's. Also, NTL doesn't support multivariate polynomials, calculations in Q, and algebraic extensions of Q. As for the ginsh installation, yes, you were right. The rpms worked fine. Don't know why I didn't use them in the first place. Wolfgang
