<br>hi alexei,<br>
thanks a lot for the reply. <br>
however dpkg command gives the following:<br>
<br>
root@1[/]# dpkg -l libginac-dev<br>
No packages found matching libginac-dev.<br><br>However, in aptitude, libginac shows up in the installed packages. As i am using a live dvd, i cannot upgrade or install anything from the web. <br><br>Is installing debian on my hard disk, the only way out if i want to use ginac ? :(
