Hi all, I am installing ginac 1.4.0 on an openSuSE 10.3 machine. I have installed libreadline: # ll /lib/*readline* lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 21 Nov 15 10:02 /lib/libreadline.so -> /lib/libreadline.so.5 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 23 Oct 13 09:59 /lib/libreadline.so.4 -> /lib/libreadline.so.5.2 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 18 Oct 8 20:55 /lib/libreadline.so.5 -> libreadline.so.5.2 -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 198824 Sep 22 00:16 /lib/libreadline.so.5.2 Still, configuring ginac results in: === The following minor problems have been detected by configure. === Please check the messages below before running "make". === (see the section 'Common Problems' in the INSTALL file) == I could not find libreadline (needed by ginsh). In config.log, I find: configure:22950: checking for readline in -lreadline configure:22980: g++ -o conftest -g -O2 conftest.cc -lreadline >&5 /usr/local/lib/libreadline.so: undefined reference to `PC' /usr/local/lib/libreadline.so: undefined reference to `tgetflag' /usr/local/lib/libreadline.so: undefined reference to `tgetent' /usr/local/lib/libreadline.so: undefined reference to `UP' /usr/local/lib/libreadline.so: undefined reference to `tputs' /usr/local/lib/libreadline.so: undefined reference to `tgoto' /usr/local/lib/libreadline.so: undefined reference to `tgetnum' /usr/local/lib/libreadline.so: undefined reference to `BC' /usr/local/lib/libreadline.so: undefined reference to `tgetstr' collect2: ld returned 1 exit status which suggests that libreadline is looked for in /usr/local/lib, but not in /lib. Can this behavior be changed? Not even installing libreadline in /usr/local/lib like # ll /usr/local/lib/*readline* -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 659580 Nov 13 10:54 /usr/local/lib/libreadline.a lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 16 Nov 13 10:54 /usr/local/lib/libreadline.so -> libreadline.so.5 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 18 Nov 13 10:54 /usr/local/lib/libreadline.so.5 -> libreadline.so.5.2 -r-xr-xr-x 1 root root 484002 Nov 13 10:54 /usr/local/lib/libreadline.so.5.2 does help. Any suggestion, what could be the reason?
