Do you have GNU readline installed?
i do have a readline installed in /usr/include and other in /sw/include (this one is from fink for sure)
If yes, could
you please check what happens if you uninstall it (and use one shipped with your OS)?
i'm not sure i want to screw up my fink installation. But i sent a mail with my config.log attached, could you obtain the info you need from it? i can run other checks if you want
Perhaps a little off-topic: but installing and uninstalling packages won't "screw up" your fink installation -- it is smart about telling you if there is a problem with removing a package through the dependency system. readline (and many other libraries) are build-depends-only, meaning they are never required to be present for *installing* other packages, and may be temporarily installed/removed for the sake of *building* package. try this: fink list readline (or readline5) tells you the status of all readline packages, and if they are installed or not fink remove readline removes it from installation, but keeps the package around so it doesn't have to be rebuilt fink install readline installs it right back (and no harm done to fink :D) FYI: I was able to reproduce your config.log and your errors, they have been diagnosed. If you have fink's readline installed, you can help the configuration find it by passing: "CPPFLAGS=-I/sw/include LDFLAGS=-L/sw/lib" to your configure command. This will force the build to search there for headers and libraries first, before it finds anything in /usr/{include,lib}. Then the editline woes should go away. :) HTH, David Fang Computer Systems Laboratory Electrical & Computer Engineering Cornell University http://www.csl.cornell.edu/~fang/ -- (2400 baud?
