Check config.log to learn why those two header files cannot be compiled.

I've no idea why CLN files including <cstring> would compile while GiNaC
files #including the same file don't. It seems like you're experiencing
some weird header mix-up. Can't you find some expert to inspect your
problem locally? Alternatively, you may try to install a pre-built RPM
file. Check out
<https://www.rpmfind.net/linux/rpm2html/search.php?query=GiNaC-devel>
for a start.

Luck!
