Hello, I'm attempting to compile 4.0.6 on Solaris 10 but ./configure only gets as far as this:
[ snip ] checking term.h presence... yes configure: WARNING: term.h: present but cannot be compiled configure: WARNING: term.h: check for missing prerequisite headers? configure: WARNING: term.h: see the Autoconf documentation configure: WARNING: term.h: section "Present But Cannot Be Compiled" configure: WARNING: term.h: proceeding with the preprocessor's result configure: WARNING: term.h: in the future, the compiler will take precedence configure: WARNING: ## ------------------------------------ ## configure: WARNING: ## Report this to [email protected] ## configure: WARNING: ## ------------------------------------ ## checking for term.h... yes checking ncurses/curses.h usability... no checking ncurses/curses.h presence... no checking for ncurses/curses.h... no checking ncurses/term.h usability... yes checking ncurses/term.h presence... yes checking for ncurses/term.h... yes checking for library containing tigetstr... -lcurses checking for tgetstr... yes checking for readline... configure: error: need installed readline-devel package I do have a readline package installed: # pkginfo -l SMCreadl PKGINST: SMCreadl NAME: readline CATEGORY: application ARCH: sparc VERSION: 5.2 BASEDIR: /usr/local VENDOR: Lionel Cons et al PSTAMP: Steve Christensen INSTDATE: Feb 09 2010 11:12 EMAIL: [email protected] STATUS: completely installed FILES: 72 installed pathnames 6 shared pathnames 9 directories 2 executables 12393 blocks used (approx) And there are header files there: # pkgchk -l SMCreadl | grep ^Pathname | grep '\.h$' Pathname: /usr/local/include/readline/chardefs.h Pathname: /usr/local/include/readline/history.h Pathname: /usr/local/include/readline/keymaps.h Pathname: /usr/local/include/readline/readline.h Pathname: /usr/local/include/readline/rlconf.h Pathname: /usr/local/include/readline/rlstdc.h Pathname: /usr/local/include/readline/rltypedefs.h Pathname: /usr/local/include/readline/tilde.h So it would seem it's a path issue perhaps. I've tried a few things based on output from ./configure --help but so far nothing has worked. I know it must be possible as sunfreeware.com has a fresh package for 4.0.6 available. The reason I need to compile is to test a patch. Thanks! Curtis
