It looks like libginac-dev package (which contains static library,
headers and ginac-config script) is not installed. You can check this
with

apt-cache policy libginac-dev

or 

dpkg -l libginac-dev

There is nothing special about GiNaC, proceed just like with any other C++
library out of there.

Best regards,
 Alexei.
