Hi, I am also trying to install symbolic (version 1.0.3 actually, but
never mind about that, I have not seen any difference between 1.0.2
and 1.0.5 that could make this work) and failing.

My isntallation fails because of a bug in the makefile procedure I
think.

I have the ginac installed but still it says it can not find the Ginac
library and this is because of the following lines in the Makefile:

ifdef HAVE_GINAC
PROGS=symbols.oct

all: $(PROGS)
else
all:
        @echo "Ginac library or headers not found"
        false
                
endif

And the HAVE_GINAC is not defined unless the OCTAVE_FORGE variable is
not set but the configure script sets this variable to 1 in Makeconf
which is include in the Makefile and hence this fails.

I got this to compile fine when I commented out OCTAVE_FORGE = 1 in
the Makeconf file by hand after the configure script had run.

But it seems this does not cause problem for you Tatsuro, I wonder why
that is.

And the rest of you, do you have any idea if this is a bug in the
Makefile or a bug on my system (A debian unstable).

Best regards.

Oli
