[Gcl-devel] Re: [Maxima] Maxima GUIs/emacs troubles!

Greetings!

When was this?  Here is what is in cvs now:

AC_CHECK_LIB(readline,main,
	AC_CHECK_LIB(ncurses,main,
		AC_DEFINE(HAVE_READLINE) 
		LIBS="$LIBS -lreadline -lncurses"
		RL_OBJS=readline.o
		RL_LIB=lsp/readline.o))

Could you please confirm that this works out of the box now on Redhat,
with backspace, back-arrow, tab completion, and Alt-b, for example?

Thanks for your report!
