uname -s, please? 

The ginac configure script ends with:

checking for pkg-config... /sw/bin/pkg-config

I guess it is Mac OS X, but it is better to explicitly state what OS

do you use.

checking pkg-config is at least version 0.9.0... yes

checking for CLN... configure: error: Package requirements (cln >=  

1.1.6) were not met.

Consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if you

installed software in a non-standard prefix.

Alternatively you may set the CLN_CFLAGS and CLN_LIBS environment  

variables

to avoid the need to call pkg-config.  See the pkg-config man page for

more details.

I have no experience with pkg-config, so I decided to use  

environments variables

bash shell:

declare -x CLN_CFLAGS="-I/usr/local/include/cln"

declare -x CLN_ LIBS="-L/usr/local/libs/ -lcln"

This should have been CLN_LIBS, but I suppose this is a copy/paste error.

for installed cln 1.1.13 which is definitely greater (newer)  as 1.1.6.

However, this does not work. Can anyone tell to me, how to set the  

variables above.

Could you please post your config.log file? It should be in the build 

directory, most likely the top of the GiNaC source tree.

Best regards,
