Re: [ADMIN] readline missing on linux
Uh, I am not sure. I would re-install readline and see if it picks up those libraries this time. What failures are you seeing, exactly? Oh, I remember, it is linking failures. You can fix it manually if you add -ltermcap to the link line, and you can even have configure add it using one of its flags. --- Randolph Jones wrote: From: Bruce Momjian It appears your readline needs -ltermcap, -lterminfo, or -lcurses to link properly.

It appears your readline needs -ltermcap, -lterminfo, or -lcurses to
link properly. I think this happens when the readline library is not
linked against those when it is created.
