Over the past two weeks I've tried many variations, unfortunately without any success.
I've tried building on these platforms: Fedora 12 Fedora 14 Ubuntu Natty 11.04 Buildoot: buildroot-dailysnapshot buildroot-2011-02 uclibc: 0.9.31 0.9.32-rc2 Building "readline" without "ncurses" and with the dependency on "ncurses" removed: [root@dlxarm01 buildroot]# grep -i tgetent make-readline-without-ncurses.log checking for tgetent... no checking for tgetent in -ltermcap... no checking for tgetent in -ltinfo... no checking for tgetent in -lcurses... no checking for tgetent in -lncurses... no [root@dlxarm01 buildroot]# BUT....readline still compiles.....*this could be due to the fact that I am unable to run "autoreconf" when building "readline"?* I then run "make ncurses" and then re-run "make readline" to see if it's uses "ncurses" for "tgetent": [root@dlxarm01 buildroot]# grep -i tgetent make-readline-with-ncurses.log checking for tgetent... no checking for tgetent in -ltermcap... no checking for tgetent in -ltinfo... no checking for tgetent in -lcurses... yes [root@dlxarm01 buildroot]# So "readline" does find "ncurses". My Fedora 12 X64 desktop uses "termcap" rather then "ncurses": [bruce@core readline-6.2]$ ./configure | grep -i tgetent checking for tgetent... no checking for tgetent in -ltermcap... yes [bruce@core readline-6.2]$ I will try and add "readelf" to my build and forward the results of checking "libreadline" and "libncurses" I really appreciate the help! I've been stuck for so long now I thought of offering a $200.00 reward to anybody who can fix it.
