+The GiNaC interactive shell, ginsh, makes use of GNU readline to provide 
+command line editing and history. If readline library and/or headers are

+
+1) (the easiest) If you don't intend to use ginsh (i.e. if you need GiNaC
+library to compile some piece of software), ignore it. ginsh builds just
+fine without readline (obviously, it won't support the command line history

 one shipped with Mac OS X) are not supported at the moment.
