Good day,
At first I got it from your cvs instructions, but to reproduce my
compilation problems, I did a new CVS checkout.
I got this out of...
http://www.gnu.org/directory/GCL.html
Isn't GCL part of GNU? I think it got you listed as a maintainer... I'm
confused...
Anyhow, I'll check out a fresh one and report back.
Just read CY's comments. I assume my problem must be the same, but I
just issued a make and didn't check the configure output.
BTW, libreadline.so is in "/usr/lib/libreadline.so". I've got a fairly
decent readline (readline-4.2-4) which I upgraded on this specific
machine for some reason (can't recall). rpm -V readline-4.2-4 doesn't
issue any errors.
Thanks!
