Re: Building EPICS Base Fails

Did you install the readline-devel libraries?
(My current system is fc8-i386)

epics@cls1ir $ locate readline.h
/usr/include/readline/readline.h

~
epics@cls1ir $ yum whatprovides /usr/include/readline/readline.h
Importing additional filelist information
readline-devel.i386 : Files needed to develop programs which use the 
readline library
readline-devel.i386 : Files needed to develop programs which use the 
readline library

Summary: Files needed to develop programs which use the readline library

Description:
The Readline library provides a set of functions that allow users to
edit typed command lines. If you want to develop programs that will
use the readline library, you need to have the readline-devel package
installed. You also need to have the readline package installed.
