-libreadline and/or the corresponding header files. Depending on what
-your system/distribution is, you will have to install a package called
-libreadline and maybe libreadline-dev. If your system's vendor
-doesn't supply such packages, go to <ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/readline/>
-and compile it yourself.

-Problems with missing <sstream>
--------------------------------
-
-GCC-2.95.2 and earlier don't have support for this header. GiNaC can use
-<strstream> instead, but this may cause some trouble later. GCC-3.0 has a
-completely new implementation of the STL-headers (libstdc++-v3) and there,
-standard-conforming support for <sstream> is present. If you can't upgrade
-your compiler we recommend using the libstdc++-v2 <sstream> header by
-Magnus Fromreide. It was posted to the gcc-patches mailing list on
-November 21 2000: <http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2000-11/msg01152.html>.

+Problems with missing standard header files
+-------------------------------------------

+Building GiNaC requires many standard header files. If you get a configure

+probably not up to date enough and it's no worth continuing.
