ID: 21153 Comment by: Andrew dot Duka at oktet dot ru Reported By: oden dot eriksson at linux-mandrake dot com Status: No Feedback Bug Type: Readline related Operating System: Mandrake 9.0 PHP Version: 4.3.0RC4 New Comment:
The same problem appears on the redhat boxes (7.3, 8.0). But solution is quite simple: to get readline support in PHP you need ncurses-devel package installed on your redhat box. This works on redhat-7.3 and 8.0 with PHP 4.3.1 and PHP4-200303141430 snapshot.

I found the error and sent a patch a while back to the cooker list, it went ignored (that's not unusual). Well, here's the fix anyway: http://www.mandrake.com/en/archives/cooker/2002-12/msg01367.php Chears. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-01-12 16:00:37] fdragon at fdragon dot org This looks to be related to readline includes in /usr/include and the actualy libraries being installed in /lib so they are available for applications such as bash during boot up when /usr may not be available. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-01-07 12:57:20] jmdault at mandrakesoft dot com It does not work with: cd ext/readline;phpize;aclocal ./configure --with-readline [--SNIP--] checking for libedit readline replacement... yes, shared checking for readline support... yes, shared checking for tgetent in -lncurses... yes checking for readline in -lreadline... no configure: error: readline library not found The problem is it checks for tgetent in -lncurses, but it doesn't add the lib in the $LIBS variable. I have the GNU readline library, version 4.3 I managed to get it work, but then, it also insists on checking *both* readline and libedit. So I installed libedit, and the same problem with the -lncurses appeared. Seems to me someone should check the config.m4.... ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The remainder of the comments for this report are too long.
