[GiNaC-list] ginsh_parser.yy error in Tiger.

Hi,
	I haven't exactly had the best track record building CLN/GiNaC on
my Mac (sooooo close), but here's what I've found:

ginsh_parser.cc builds for me, however, I'm using bison-2.0.  It also used
to build for me with bison-1.875.  The bison that ships with OS X is
bison-1.28 (*ancient*) and is known to have problems, perhaps including
generating bad code from ginsh_parser.yy.  Tell us what "bison --version"
you have, and consider upgrading if you're using 1.28.
	The rl_* functions come from readline.  Those functions listed
below have been in libreadline since at least version 4 (I have 4.3
installed), *BUT* the names did change slightly across minor
versions, as evidenced by the various #if's sprinkled about that source
file.
	HTH.
