Thread: configure
Hi, Thank You for such a great product. I had some problems with the build, the configue script wasn't picking up the GNU readline library(I compiled from source). I went online and saw many people were having the same issue as I did. I looked @ the configure script and realised my problem was the lack of ncurses libs on my machine. I would respectfuly request a more informative readline not found. Perhaps the fix is just to place this in the readline part of the documentation. Debian/GNU(woody) [testing] 2.4.19 bash Thank You, Matt Mackenzie

You should probably look at fixing your operating system's package management system which let you create a broken readline installation in the first place. -- Peter Eisentraut peter_e@gmx.net
