I have compiled GiNaC on a Debian Linux Potato box. The library compiled OK and I have successfully tested a few examples from the tutorial with correct result. However I can't get ginsh to compile, it fails on ginsh_parser.cc. Any tips/patches? //Gunnar Isaksson - To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to ginac-list@ginac.de with a subject of "unsubscribe".

No patches. Probably you have switched on -ansi or -pedantic at your compiler's flags? What happens is that the header files for libreadline2 (which is the version on Debian Potato) are broken from a C++ point of view. If you don't force your compiler to be too picky about that it will compile. (Don't worry, Matthias Klose who is the libreadline maintainer for Debian has reassured that he will package libreadline 4.1 as soon as it comes out and libreadline 4.0 if 4.1 doesn't appear in December. 4.0 compiles even with gcc -ansi -pedantic.)

Thanks for pointing me in the right direction. The problem was that the header files for libreadline wasn't installed at all on my PC. When that got fixed, I was able to compile ginsh without any problems. //Gunnar - To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to ginac-list@ginac.de with a subject of "unsubscribe".
