I have downloaded GiNaC 1.4.0 and installed on an openSuSE 10.3 machine according to the README and INSTALL files. Mostly, this was ok. However, when trying to generate the documentation, say by make html, I get:

Well, indeed, these *.gif files are not there. Shouldn't they somehow be generated from the *.fig that ARE there?
Yes. To make that happen you need to have fig2dev program (http://epb.lbl.gov/xfig) installed. It looks like this utility is missing on your system. Most GNU/Linux distros I know of have the binary package (it is called transfig, sometimes xfig, etc.). After installing it re-run the configure script and try again.
