Обсуждение: configure

Hi,

  Thank You for such a great product.  I had some problems with the
build, the configue script wasn't picking up the GNU readline library(I
compiled from source). I went online and saw many people were having the
same issue as I did.  I looked @ the configure script and realised my
problem was the lack of ncurses libs on my machine.  I would respectfuly
request a  more informative readline not found. Perhaps the fix is just
to place this in the readline part of the documentation.

Debian/GNU(woody) [testing]
2.4.19
bash

Thank You,
Matt Mackenzie

I think it would be tricky to determine that it is in fact the missing
curses library that is making things fail.  You should probably look at
fixing your operating system's package management system which let you
create a broken readline installation in the first place.
