[GiNaC-devel] CLN linker issue

[Aless Lasaruk]

Dear GiNaC developers,

i have noticed that the default build of GiNaC from the release tars  
does not seem to link against the CLN-library.

My configuration:

Mac OSX Leopard
GiNaC 1.5.8 release (from scratch: untar, configure, make, make  
install).
GNU from mac ports.

This results in strange linker behaviour, when working with the  
"numeric" class:

Undefined symbols:
   "cln::cl_free_heap_object(cln::cl_heap*)", referenced from:
       cln::cl_gc_dec_pointer_refcount(cln::cl_heap*)     in  
numeric.cpp.o
ld: symbol(s) not found
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

I suppose, this linker error is heavy to understand for beginners, so  
i suggest to fix or document this issue.

With best regards,
Aless
