Alan, I understand and I am really gratefull for all the work you guys have done in this project.
Please understand that when we, as users, go to a site to download a program, the site structure and distribution of information is completely new. We , (I) try to understand it but we have no time to read everything. I believe that this is normal and yes , we make mistakes. Don't you ? So please, don't try to give us (me) lessons about how to look for information. I am an old guy and I stiil need much more time to learn new things . I don't need one more person to criticise my mistakes or laziness to read a 200 pages web site in order to understand the whole picture. You are guessing too much and you are guessing wrong. Yes I did click on the link 2.1.1 on the main web page. That was the first thing I did. These files didn't compile. It was NOT because the linker on my system chooses the wrong libs as you can see from the log. There is another reason and I don't know it. configure:21137: gcc -o conftest -g -O2 -D_REENTRANT -D_POSIX_PTHREAD_SEMANTICS conftest.c -lnsl -lresolv -lpthread -lreadline >&5 /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-redhat-linux/4.1.2/../../../../lib64/libreadline.so: undefined reference to `PC' /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-redhat-linux/4.1.2/../../../../lib64/libreadline.so: undefined reference to `tgetflag' /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-redhat-linux/4.1.2/../../../../lib64/libreadline.so: undefined reference to `tgetent' /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-redhat-linux/4.1.2/../../../../lib64/libreadline.so: undefined reference to `UP' /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-redhat-linux/4.1.2/../../../../lib64/libreadline.so: undefined reference to `tputs' /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-redhat-linux/4.1.2/../../../../lib64/libreadline.so: undefined reference to `tgoto' /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-redhat-linux/4.1.2/../../../../lib64/libreadline.so: undefined reference to `tgetnum' /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-redhat-linux/4.1.2/../../../../lib64/libreadline.so: undefined reference to `BC' /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-redhat-linux/4.1.2/../../../../lib64/libreadline.so: undefined reference to `tgetstr' collect2: ld returned 1 exit status configure:21143: $? = 1 I am still trying to make this work and I thank very much all of you who are helping me out.
