gnu.readline probs

gnu.readline probs

[Anthony Green]

I'm building rhug on a new RH Linux 7.2 install and it won't configure because
configure can't find libtermcap.  /lib/libtermcap.so.2 exists, but I
don't think we should be using this (and gcc can't find it). 

Alex - is there some way to make it use ncurses, or some alternative?

I think I got curses to work. For some reasons, the version 1.1 of the
file had this:

  @@ -124,10 +126,7 @@ upstream/src/test/TestCompleter.java
 
 
   test_ReadlineTest_LDFLAGS = --main=test.ReadlineTest
  -# Several libraries define what readline needs (tgetnum for instance
  -# is defined in libcurses, libncurses and libtermcap.) The one we need
  -# should be found at configure time. FIXME.
  -test_ReadlineTest_LDADD = -L. -l-org-gnu-readline -lreadline -lcurses
  +test_ReadlineTest_LDADD = -L. -l-org-gnu-readline 
 
 # Class file business

But I think you did the work of having gnu.readline switch over to
something else (at which time the test_ReadlineTest_LDADD patch was
checked in...):
