+GiNaC requires the CLN library by Bruno Haible, available at either
+one of the following FTP-sites:
+  * <ftp://ftp.santafe.edu/pub/gnu/>,
+  * <ftp://ftp.ilog.fr/pub/Users/haible/gnu/> or
+  * <ftp://ftpthep.physik.uni-mainz.de/pub/gnu/>.
+You will also need a decent ANSI-compliant C++-compiler.  We use
+`post-EGCS' GCC, i.e GCC >= 2.95 for development so if you have a
+different compiler you are on your own.  Note that you may have to use
+the same compiler you compiled CLN with because of differing
+name-mangling schemes.
+
+Optionally, GiNaC may work together with Masaharu Goto's C++
+interpreter cint (which requires that you register for commercial
+use).  You may obtain it from
+  * <ftp://root.cern.ch/root/>.
+Install it by following the instructions included in Cint's
+distribution before trying to compile GiNaC-cint.  (See section
+`Working with the Cint C++ interpreter' below.)
