Devs: I think this problem occurs because MacPorts needs a newer version of readline than the one you have in /usr/local. Couldn't we add a check to ./configure to make sure the correct version of readline is available, and issue a sensible error message if not, rather than failing with this unfortunate undefined symbols error later on? Or, couldn't we instruct configure never to look for anything in /usr/local? I believe the latter has been suggested before but I don't remember the outcome.



The last time I looked into something like this, it was my conclusion that /usr/local is considered special by gcc and hence, you can't remove it from the list. It would definitely be a great thing if this has changed, or I was wrong, because having MP tell gcc to always ignore /usr/local would definitely solve many problems, the recurring readline issue being one of the most common of course.

What about:

gcc -nostdinc \
    -isystem /usr/lib/gcc/i686-apple-darwin8/4.0.1/include \
    -isystem /usr/include \
    -isystem /System/Library/Frameworks \
    -isystem /Library/Frameworks

? It'd be nice not to hardcode this -- it could be determined dynamically by examining the output of `cpp -v` and filtering out / usr/local/include. It seems possible from the man page to do the same for libraries:

gcc -Z -L /standard/path1 -L /standard/path2 ....
