Working with the Cint C++ interpreter
=====================================
-The interface to the Cint C++ interpreter is currently in an alpha
-state. Please see <http://root.cern.ch/root/Cint.html> to learn about
-Cint and install it before installing ginaccint. For the tool
-makecint to work properly it must 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

- Cint 5.14.38 | Cint before 5.14.37
+Here is an overview to gives you an idea if you can expect GiNaCcint
+to compile, install and work properly:
-Due to a bug in Cint 5.14.38 compilation will fail with GCC 2.95.2,
-maybe even with all 2.95.x. Currently you must use EGCS-1.1.x. This
-is under investigation.
