Error while compiling 7.3

List,
I'm getting a compile error, perhaps someone could help.
My ./configure cannot find readline, but I NEED that feature.

The output in config.log about readline is below. What is going on? (I'm
kindof a noob and don't know how to figure out this one)

Thanks!!

Re: Error while compiling 7.3

I'm running the SuSE 8.0 Distro of Linux and got this same error I had to
install another package from the distro called readline-devel. It includes
all the header files and the libraries used by the linker to include the
readline library into other programs. Not sure that's your problem but its a
place to start..

Good Luck
Phil
