Sorry I didn't realised the error was on GINAC library, I though it was the pkg-config when using it with GINAC.

Anyway, I see you are trying to install the "symbolic toolbox", in Debian it has some libraries requirements. One of them is the GINAC library that is called libginac (in fact, libginac1.5)

At my computer:
apt-cache show octave-symbolic
[...]
Depends: libblas3gf | libblas.so.3gf | libatlas3gf-base, libc6 (>= 2.1.3), libcln6, libfftw3-3, libgcc1 (>= 1:4.1.1), libgfortran3 (>= 4.3), libginac1.5 (>= 1.5.0), libhdf5-serial-1.8.4 | libhdf5-1.8.4, liblapack3gf | liblapack.so.3gf | libatlas3gf-base, libncurses5 (>= 5.6+20071006-3), libreadline6 (>= 6.0), libstdc++6 (>= 4.4.0), zlib1g (>= 1:1.1.4), octave3.2 (>= 3.2.0-1)
Description: symbolic package for Octave

So, I suggest you to look for libginac on extras-devel.
By the way, if you consider interesting lardman advice (that i think it would make things easier) you could install a virtual system on your desktop using, for instance, virtualbox...
