Thread: Problem compiling 7.3
I downloaded and tried compiling 7.3 with the following configuration line: ./configure --with-perl --enable-syslog which is the same way I compiled and installed 7.2. However, 7.3 is having problems and gives me the following error: ---------------------- checking for readline... no configure: error: readline library not found If you have readline already installed, see config.log for details on the failure. It is possible the compiler isn't looking in the proper directory. Use --without-readline to disable readline support. ----------------------- I looked in the config.log file but it didn't tell me (a newbie) anything very useful to help me try to find from where my problem is stemming. Also, I do have readline installed. When running "rpm -q -l readline", I get the following: ---------------------- /usr/lib/libhistory.so.4 /usr/lib/libhistory.so.4.2 /usr/lib/libreadline.so.4 /usr/lib/libreadline.so.4.2 /usr/share/info/history.info.gz /usr/share/info/readline.info.gz /usr/share/info/rluserman.info.gz /usr/share/man/man3/history.3.gz /usr/share/man/man3/readline.3.gz ---------------------- And checking the rpmfind.net site, it appears that I have the latest version of readline: readline-4.2a-4. So ok, I then go and change the configure command line to read: ./configure --with-perl --enable-syslog --with-libraries=/usr/lib \ --with-includes=/usr/lib but still no joy. What's going on. What can I look at/into to try to figure out what my problem is. I'm just looking for some hints/pointers as opposed to an outright answer so I can try to figure out/fix this myself. There's no better way to learn. :p My only problem is I just don't know where to look. thnx, Chris

On solaris, with readline package installed, I get the same error... I try with "--with-include=/usr/local/include/readline" but didn't work too. -- Fernando O.

This is the same with zlib and every other lib you want to compile your programs against. Regards Tino > -- > Fernando O.
