    I did:

    git clone git://www.ginac.de/ginac.git
    cd ginac
    zcat ../ginac_1.6.2-1.diff.gz | patch -p 1
    autoreconf -i
    ./configure
    make

    That breaks with the following error:

make[1]: Entering directory `/tmp/ginac/ginsh'
/usr/bin/python ./ginsh_op_help.py -o ginsh_op_help.h ginsh.1
make[1]: *** No rule to make target `ginsh_parser.h', needed by `ginsh_parser.o'.  Stop.

  Maybe, something crucial is missing from my installation, but I cannot
  see what it is exactly. If I copy ginsh_parser.h from ginac-1.6.2
  distro the next error will be:

make[2]: Entering directory `/tmp/ginac/doc/tutorial'
...
ginac.texi:8682: raising the section level of @subsection which is too  low
make[2]: *** [ginac.info] Error 1 

  If I copy *.info files (with the updated time-stamp) from the distro
  make finishes fine.

  Best wishes,
  Vladimir
