-libreadline and/or the corresponding header files. Depending on what
-your system/distribution is, you will have to install a package called
-libreadline and maybe libreadline-dev. If your system's vendor
-doesn't supply such packages, go to <ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/readline/>
-and compile it yourself.

-Working with the Cint C++ interpreter
-=====================================
-
-Please see <http://root.cern.ch/root/Cint.html> to learn about Cint
-and install it prior to installing ginaccint. For the interpreter-
-compiler `makecint' to work properly, the Makefiles need to know where
-Cint has its system directory. This is usually done by exporting
-$CINTSYSDIR to point to the proper place. With GiNaC you may either
-try to export that variable and type
- $ ./configure --with-cint
-or specify it directly on the command line by saying
- $ ./configure --with-cint=/my/path/to/cintsysdir
-This variable does not have to be exported for running the installed
-binary: since the actual program is started by a launcher that sets it.
-Enjoy!
-
-Here is an overview to gives you an idea if you can expect GiNaC-cint
-to compile, install and work properly:
-
- Cint version | how it works
---------------+----------------------------------------------------------
- < 5.14.39 | `VERBOTEN' by license (please bite your favorite lawyer)
- < 5.14.39,40 | compiles but does not feel happy at all (inconsistent!)
- 5.14.41 | tested on egcs 1.1.1, gcc 2.95.2: some weirdnesses
- 5.14.44 | does not compile: G__cpp_ginaccint.C needs manual fixes
- 5.14.45 | compiles fine, works well
+libreadline and/or the corresponding header files. Depending on what your
+system/distribution is, you will have to install a package called
+libreadline and maybe libreadline-dev. If your system's vendor doesn't
+supply such packages, go to <ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/readline/> and compile
+it yourself.
+
+Problems with missing standard header files
+-------------------------------------------
+
+Building GiNaC requires many standard header files. If you get a configure
+error complaining about such missing files your compiler and library are
+probably not up to date enough and it's no worth continuing.
