Re: Configure fails to find readline libraries

Hi...Here's the output of that one:

ldd /usr/local/lib/libreadline.so
linux-gate.so.1 => (0xffffe000)
libc.so.6 => /lib/libc.so.6 (0xb7e9c000)
/lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0xb8055000)
ddev:/ #

There are two versions of readline. REadline 5.2 and Readline 6.0
Readline 5.2 was installed during
the suse linux installation but it never installed the readline.h
file. Go figure.
