ginsh compilation with gcc2.96 -- readline 4.2

[Vladimir Dyadichev]

Hello

I would like to compile GiNaC on my Linux system
with gcc 2.96 . I have libreadline v 4.2 installed
on my system but it seems that g++ do not like 
readline header files. 

Consequently the ginsh  fails to compile (library itself
compiles OK).

Any suggestions ???

Thanks in advance.

Vladimir



Here is part of configure output:

checking for readline/readline.h... yes
checking for readline/history.h... yes
checking for tgetent... no
checking for tgetent in -lncurses... yes
checking for readline in -lreadline... yes
checking for version of libreadline... unknown

The part of config.log corresponding to that failure
