It looks like libginac-dev package (which contains static library, headers and ginac-config script) is not installed. You can check this with apt-cache policy libginac-dev or dpkg -l libginac-dev

There is nothing special about GiNaC, proceed just like with any other C++ library out of there. Best regards, Alexei. -- All science is either physics or stamp collecting.
hi alexei, thanks a lot for the reply. however dpkg command gives the following: root@1[/]# dpkg -l libginac-dev No packages found matching libginac-dev. However, in aptitude, libginac shows up in the installed packages. As i am using a live dvd, i cannot upgrade or install anything from the web. Is installing debian on my hard disk, the only way out if i want to use ginac ? :( On 11/5/06, Sheplyakov Alexei <varg@theor.jinr.ru> wrote:

You can also use a live distribution that includes the required files. See here: http://www.knoppix-math.org/ . This is a live distribution that contains a lot of mathematical software. Good luck! Chris

In plain English that means "package libginac-dev is not installed".
However, in aptitude, libginac shows up in the installed packages.
libginac1.3* contains only shared library, so it is sufficient for running *already compiled* programs. But for compiling/linking with GiNaC you need also libginac-dev.
As i am using a live dvd, i cannot upgrade or install anything from the web.
Technically, this is not true: installing packages on KNOPPIX (and probably any derived distro) _without remastering_ is possible. Regular 'aptitude install', 'dpkg -i' work fine. Best regards, Alexei -- All science is either physics or stamp collecting.
thanks a lot chris and alexei, i will try out your suggestions. as i said, i am a total newbie to linux for that matter to unix so please bear with my dumb questions ! On 11/6/06, Sheplyakov Alexei <varg@theor.jinr.ru> wrote:

K guys, after much kicking and rolling i had given in to the pressure ! - I installed ubuntu on my hdd with the help of a friend of mine( you must recollect that i am a linux simpleton). The synaptic application is just awesome - installing ginac was just a piece of cake. The ginac-config works w/o any problems Thanks so much alexei, and chris for your time; i really appreciate your help ! On 11/6/06, aravind b <baravi2005@gmail.com> wrote:
