Try looking at the config.log output in the part where it's trying to
find readline (should be near the end); the link error messages may be
enlightening. If not, try "ldd" on the readline library file to see
what its dependencies are --- the best theory I have is that you are
missing some library it requires. (It ain't necessarily termcap.)
Of course if you are this would indicate a packaging mistake for
libreadline, because it should have had an RPM dependency on whatever
it needs.

Also try ldconfig -p to examine the linker cache then. /lib looks like this on my MDK 10.0 installation then: libreadline.so -> libreadline.so.4.3 libreadline.so.4 -> libreadline.so.4.3 libreadline.so.4.1 -> ../lib/libreadline.so.4 libreadline.so.4.2 -> ../lib/libreadline.so.4 libreadline.so.4.3 [...] -- Bernd
I think you have to install ncurses. On Mdk 10 its libncurses5-devel I think. Try that and see what happens. Regards, Ben
Hi, I have the same problem and I solved it. This question then was asked and I answer it. Try looking at the google and you will find it. In general - Open the package manager and searche for keyword "redline". The neccessary library will apper and you just will have to install it. Regards, Kaloyan Alejandro D.

Thanks Ben, libncures5 was installed but libncurses5-devel don't. Problem solved! I must find zlib deps now ;+) On Wed, 17 Nov 2004 09:20:00 +0000, Ben Trewern <ben_trewern@hotmail.com> wrote: > I think you have to install ncurses.
