ginsh compilation with gcc2.96 -- readline 4.2

[Vladimir Dyadichev]

Hi,

Thanks for the reply and advice. I fixed the readline headers
and configure succeeded. But `ginsh` still don't want to compile
producing following error message:

c++ -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I. -I.. -I./../ginac -I../ginac
-DIN_GINAC    -pipe -Wall -O2 -fexpensive-optimizations
-march=i686 -c ginsh_parser.cc
/usr/share/misc/bison.simple: In function `int yyparse ()':

ginsh_parser.yy: In function `char **fcn_completion (char *, int,
int)':

ginsh_parser.yy:824: cannot convert `char **(*) ()' to `char
**(*) (const char *, int, int)' in assignment
make: *** [ginsh_parser.o] Ошибка 1

However, I finally managed to build ginsh by using 2.95.3
compiler instead of 2.96   --- it gves just the first two
warnings and no errors.

Best regards,
 Vladimir
