I'm getting: readline.c:545: `HISTORY_STATE' undeclared (first use in this function) readline.c:545: `state' undeclared (first use in this function) readline.c:546: parse error before `int' readline.c:549: `i' undeclared (first use in this function) and so on, on NetBSD 1.6.1. This is probably because NetBSD has an old version of readline under /usr/include/readline that doesn't define HISTORY_STATE and a few other macros. I have a later readline installed under /usr/local, but readline's extconf.rb doesn't see it. I did try adding the correct path to $CPPFLAGS and $LDFLAGS in extconf.rb, but that didn't seem to have any effect. Dan -- /^Dan Debertin$/ | airboss / nodewarrior.org | www.nodewarrior.org |
