Order of checking for readline support libraries

Currently, configure checks for the readline support packages in the
order
-ltermcap -lncurses -lcurses
I would like to change this to
-lncurses -ltermcap -lcurses
The reason is that Fedora is deprecating termcap and planning to remove
it (see attached). Comments? Anyone know of a platform this would
produce bad results on?

regards, tom lane

Subject: libtermcap => libncurses

Hi,

here is the list of packages that are now depending on
libtermcap.so.2. These packages need to be rebuilt against libncurses,
as we would like to have termcap and libtermcap dropped since FC7.

Please change BuildRequires to ncurses-devel and link with -lncurses
instead of -ltermcap. If the package needs to include termcap.h, the
file is in /usr/include/ncurses.

Drop me an email if you don't have time to do this, and I will take
care of your packages.

Thanks.
