Problem with configure script in 7.3.2.

From
"Regan, Kevin"
Date:
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,

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.
