Thread: Problem with configure script in 7.3.2.
It doesn't seem to find readline even though I have it installed on my Linu= x system. In particular, it seems to be attempting to include <readline.h>= rather than <readline/readline.h>. In addition, it is not linking in the = -lcurses library. It seems that these are both needed for the latest versi= on of readline. Any thoughts on this? Thanks, Kevin Regan kregan@amazon.com

I don't think so. The configure script checks for readline/readline.h
*first*. And it will include -lcurses if needed to link readline.
Given that there is no one else reporting such problems on Linux,
I think there's something pretty broken about your local configuration.
Beyond the obvious "did you install readline-devel too?", I can't help
without more details.

At least on my Linux box (RH 8.0), readline depends on -ltermcap
not -lcurses ... and PG's configure does figure that out.

Tom,
Thanks for the reply. If this is working for others, then it is almost cer=
tainly a configuration issue on my machine. I do not have readline-devel i=
nstalled -- I'll look into getting this.
