Re: Problem building epics base-3.14.6 with recent gcc on linux

[Robert Soliday <soliday@aps.anl.gov>]

I do not believe it has anything to do with your compiler. It appears 
that you do not have the readline package installed. You can still get 
EPICS Base to compile without it if you edit 
base/configure/os/CONFIG_SITE.Common.linux-x86 and comment out the last 
line where it sets COMMANDLINE_LIBRARY = READLINE
