Subject: Re: Readline module in 1.6.8

Thanks, I'm making progress.
I now have the readline lib and includes installed.
Now ruby can find the includes fine, but it can't find the library itself.

# ruby extconf.rb
[snip]
checking for readline/readline.h... yes
checking for readline/history.h... yes
checking for readline() in -lreadline... no

my libreadline.so is installed in /lib.

My /etc/ld.so.conf was missing '/lib' and '/usr/lib', so I added them and
ran /sbin/ldconfig, but this didn't make any difference.  Ruby still can't
find readline() in libreadline.so

Adding "/lib:/usr/lib" to LD_LIBRARY_PATH didn't help either.

Does anyone know what I'm doing wrong?

Thanks for the help,
Daniel.
