Re: [Codelite-users] error building codelite: libedit.so not found....

Hi,

Sorry for the delay; I've only just seen your post.

For complicated reasons to do with fedora/openSUSE packages, I was forced to
hack liblldb to look for a .so symlink, not a .so.0 one. In most distros that
just means that the -dev(el) package needs to be installed.

In gentoo that doesn't work. However if you create a full chain of symlinks:
libedit.so -> libedit.so.0 -> libedit.so.0.0.47 (or whatever) you should find
that everything works.

Another gentoo user reports (on #codelite) that creating a /lib/libedit.so link
fixed his problem.

Regards,

David
