Re: [mdb-dev] Compiling and glib

[Jeff S. <why...@ya...>]

Hm..., -lreadline should have come before -lncurses in READLINE_LIBS.
That could be the cause of the linker error.  How it got in that order
I do not know.  You might get past this problem by editing the line in
src/util/Makefile that says
   READLINE_LIBS=' -lncurses -lreadline'
to
   READLINE_LIBS=' -lreadline -lncurses'
and then start up make again.

Also note that some readline problems have been corrected recently,
so you may want to try the version of mdbtools in cvs.
