Hi all!

I'm new user of linux. I've installed an Ubuntu 7.10. I need to
install  Ginac for some scientific programs. But I get this problem
while doing "./configure"

===The following minor problems have been detected by configure.
===Pleas check ....

=== I could not find the headers for libreadline (needed for building ginsh).

===I could not find libreadline (needed by ginsh).
------------------------
I've read the Install file and Common problems. I found that there is
installed libreadline5.2-3build1

After I've read from Ginac mailing list archives similar problems, but
i can't det the main idea.
I found in my config.log life these rows

configure:22223: checking readline/readline.h usability
configure:22240: g++ -c -g -O2  conftest.cpp >&5
conftest.cpp:63:31: error: readline/readline.h: No such file or directory
configure:22246: $? = 1

configure:22246: $? = 1
configure: failed program was:

.................................................

what is the problem?
Thank you
Hayk
p.s. I don't know can I attach for example config.log file in my mail?
