[GiNaC-list] Ginsh Compiler Issues on Mac OS

Hello,

I am trying to install GINAC on Mac OS.


ginsh did not install because it could not find readline. I have already
installed readline using Homebrew, and homebrew gave me the message
appended below. So I used this configure option:


./configure LDFLAGS="-L/usr/local/opt/readline/lib"
CPPFLAGS="-I/usr/local/opt/readline/include"
PKG_CONFIG_PATH="/usr/local/opt/readline/lib/pkgconfig"


Unfortunately, ginsh still does not compile and I get this information from
configure:


***** BEGIN MESSAGE FROM CONFIGURE*****

== ginsh will not compile, because libreadline could not be found.

*****END MESSAGE FROM CONFIGURE*****


*Could you please help me with the configure options to get ginsh to
compile?* I’ve attached the config.log as well.


Thank you!


Sincerely,

Francesca

For compilers to find readline you may need to set:

  export LDFLAGS="-L/usr/local/opt/readline/lib"

  export CPPFLAGS="-I/usr/local/opt/readline/include"


For pkg-config to find readline you may need to set:

  export PKG_CONFIG_PATH="/usr/local/opt/readline/lib/pkgconfig"


readline is keg-only, which means it was not symlinked into /usr/local,

because macOS provides BSD libedit.
