The latest library versions can cause problems when trying to build the PURSS infrastructure.
1) GiNaC GiNaC 1.3.7 works and is now on our FTP site. ftp://ftp.cs.unipr.it/pub/infrastructure GiNaC 1.3.6 apparently doesn't work due to a parsing problem. GiNaC 1.4.x (the current series) should work but we need to modify our configuration script in order to take into account http://www.ginac.de/pipermail/ginac-devel/2007-March/001167.html which dropped ginac-config for pkg-config. Our configure script and test program should not locate/execute ginac-config (which has been removed in 1.4.x) but pkg-config --modversion ginac (if you receive an error, just set PKG_CONFIG_PATH appropriately: PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig/:$PKG_CONFIG_PATH if GiNaC is in /usr/local/lib ). Note: GiNaC is now dependent on pkg-config, but this shouldn't be a major problem.
2) GIAC GIAC 0.7.1 does not build without a patch we already happened to have to apply. The patch, suggested by Roberto, is under this message and a patched version og GIAC 0.7.1 is on our FTP site.
3) CGICC CGICC 3.2.4 (the latest version) apparently has changed its build scripts. Since this is not a key component, we can continue using CGICC 3.2.3, which is on our FTP site too.
Yours, Andrea.
