[Sserver-three-d] Configure/compile problems

[Patrick R. <pf...@cs...>]

Hi all,

I finally got some time to play around with this stuff, briefly.

My configuration/compilation problems
(at first I had problems because of a wacky local setup where we
simultaneously have multiple versions of autoconf/automake
installed. I got that resolved though.)

Real issues, but none very serious and could all wait until we
actually have more code to worry about.

* Readline. Configure foudn readline.h, but said I didn't have
  -lreadline. The problem is that to get -lreadline to work, you then
  need -ltermcap also. Should I add this to my LDFLAGS or should
  configure figure this out? I eventually just changed config.h to say
  I had no readline.

* in simulator/example.cc:112, I had to copy the contents of prompt to
  a char* because my readline wants a char* and not a const
  char*. Don't know if this is common or what. Let me know if you want
  me to check this in

* ODE dirs. I had to use CPPFLAGS and LDFLAGS to say where I had ODE
  installed (not system wide). It would be nice at some point to
  include these options in configure
