To add another datapoint:
Sebastian's Linux installation is quite unlike those I (and other Hugs
developers) normally use. For example, while answering a graphics
library bug, I found that he has X but the include file X.h is not
installed. It's not installed because he didn't install the X11
developers package (presumably) because he wasn't planning to do any
X11 development and because redhat, suse, etc make the distinction.
The point is that we can expect this to happen more and more as Linux
is retargetted at non-C-programmers. Our autoconf tests are going to
have to get more thorough (I'd guess that the current problem is
assuming that presence of readline.h implies existence of a shared
library) and we'll probably have to do more binary distributions.
