Fw: Question re Installing GiNaC

[Christian Bauer]

Hi!

Maybe someone with Cygwin experience can help here?

Dear Mr. Bauer,

[...]
I wanted to install GiNaC on my
(windows) machine so that I could do calculations,
etc.  I haven't had a lot of experience with Gnu
installations before.  I basically downloaded both
Cygwin and CLN in order to install GiNaC.  The other
two installations seemed to go OK, but with GiNaC I
got the error message below.  (I have no idea how to
interpret this).  Perhaps I put the files in the wrong
place -- I wasn't sure where to put them so I put the
GiNaC directory under lib.  Do you know how to get
around this problem?

Thanks,

Baruch Feldman
