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

[Chip Piller <piller@sns.gov>]

Hi Ernest,
So the gcc version was not the issue, the problem was that I did not 
have the readline-devel package installed on my linux system by default.

On my Fedora Core 1 system I had readline and readline-devel version 
4.3.7 installed by default.  On my Ubuntu (debian based) system I had 
libreadline4 4.3-11 installed by default, after installing the 
libreadline4-dev 4.3-11 package I was able to successfully build epics base.

Thanks,
Chip
