I had a go at trying to find libginac and pkg-config from extra devels..i'm assuming that to get these two, i would have to do the apt-get install inside the xterminal, but i got unable to find libginac (i also tried libginac1.5)?

are pkg-config and libginac additional library files for the system i.e. are they the files that are used to allow additional software that depend on them to run? im still getting into terms about what they are and what they do..

it does seem like a better idea to compile it in a computer and package them as deb..
