[my readline woes snipped]

Yup, it does:
beluga:tmp% cc -o foo foo.c -lreadline -ltermcap
beluga:tmp% ./foo
>>sdfsdfsdf
sdfsdfsdf
(This after deleting both /lib/libreadline.so and /lib/libhistory.so.)
In this case, foo.c is
#include <stdio.h>
#include <readline/readline.h>
#include <readline/history.h>
main() {
printf("%s\n", readline(">>" ));
}
Michael> Do you need a readline-devel package or something?
Got that. I just noticed that "rpm -q --whatprovides /lib/libreadline.so"
does list readline-devel as the provider. I just reinstalled it using
--force. Now the .so symlinks are there. Go figure...
Oh well, probably ought to drop it unless another Mandrake user complains.
I'm really amazed at how many packages Mandrake chose *not* to install even
though I selected all the groups during install and was installing into
fresh / and /usr partitions. I've been dribbling various packages in
bit-by-bit as I've discovered omissions. In the past I've also noticed
files apparently not installed even though the packages that were supposed
to provide them were installed.
