That didn't work. My editline build is in the directory /home/jswaine/libedit, with the actual library being in /home/jswaine/libedit/lib and the includes being in /home/jswaine/libedit/include. So when I invoked the configure script, I did it like so:
/.configure LIBRARY_PATH=$LIBRARY_PATH$:/home/jswaine/libedit/lib CPATH=CPATH$:/home/jswaine/libedit/include But still for some reason I get the same error. Am I doing this correctly?
