I'm getting these errors when trying to install the symbolic package:
octave-3.2.2:1> pkg install symbolic-1.0.9.tar.gz
symbols.cc:37:25: error: ginac/ginac.h: No such file or directory

My computer:
OS X, 10.5.8

I did this:
1) Downloaded and installed prebuilt Octave binary 3.2.2 for OS X from
http://octave.sourceforge.net

2) Realized I need the Symbolic library.

3) Installed GiNaC from MacPorts:
sudo port install ginac

4) Tried to install the symbolic library:
octave-3.2.2:1> pkg install symbolic-1.0.9.tar.gz
symbols.cc:37:25: error: ginac/ginac.h: No such file or directory
ov-vpa.h:39: error: ‘GiNaC’ has not been declared
ov-vpa.h:39: error: expected ‘,’ or ‘...’ before ‘&’ token
...
hundreds of errors follow

5) Do I need to build and install Octave from source?

Thanks,

Rob
