Hi, I am a new user to ginac, and i am trying to find out how to convert an ex to a double. This of course only makes sense when ex contains something that is a double. I have been searching the tutorial and tried "expresion output". There it explains in section 5.12.1 how to manipulate the outputstream with "csrc" but I can not get the examples working. I also dont know if this is the right way get my double. #include <iostream> #include <stdio.h> #include <ginac/ginac.h> using namespace std; using namespace GiNaC; int main(){ ex poly=2.7; double val; std::ostream & csrc(std::ostream & os); cout << csrc <<poly <<"\n"; return 0; } When I run the example above I get the error below, and I don not know how to handle it. /tmp/cczNv1jd.o: In function `main': /tmp/cczNv1jd.o(.text+0x36): undefined reference to `csrc(ostream &)' collect2: ld returned 1 exit status I am working wih ginac version : 1.1.1 g++: 2.95.3 I am not that much intro programming to understand how stream manipulation really works and to understand the ginac source code. Can anyone help me to get my double ??
