I was having a hard time compiling sage on my ARM box : the R spkg, which
until then hadn't given any issue, didn't even want to configure.
The reason was that if ncurses is detected, then termcap isn't searched
for, and hence detecting rl_callback_read_char fails (missing -ltermacp
means missing symbols) ; which means the configuration failed because
--with-readline was given on the commandline, and it wasn't correctly
detected.
I got around it by uninstalling the libncurses5-dev package from my
system.
Looking at the configure.ac, I think the issue isn't ARM-specific ;
perhaps that should be pushed upstream.
