This should be detected by configure. E.g., on my system I get
| checking for readline... yes (-lreadline -ltermcap)
(-lreadline and -ledit are equivalent for computational purposes).
config.log shows:
| configure:3143: checking for readline
| configure:3165: gcc -o conftest -O2 -g conftest.c -lreadline 1>&5
[ tries without termcap]
| /usr/lib/gcc-lib/i386-redhat-linux/2.96/../../../libreadline.so: undefined reference
|to `tgetnum'
[snip]
| configure:3165: gcc -o conftest -O2 -g conftest.c -lreadline -ltermcap 1>&5
[ tries with termcap, success ]
Can you check around these areas why it doesn't behave as expected?
