Are you sure? Was this using the sqlite-autoconf-3130000.tar.gz tarball? Just to understand the issue better, can you post the output of running "./configure" as well as the generated "config.log". > I had the following packages installed via apt-get: readline-common > libreadline6-dev libreadline6 That should not matter. The problem (as I understand it) is *not* that configure fails to find readline, the problem is that it doesn't even look for readline. Jeroen.
