checking on bug #5917
Hi,
Recently I had trouble compiling from source on Fedora Core 14. The
configure script was not finding libreadline.so nor libz.so. Is there more
information I can provide? Over the weekend, I will make another attempt to
try and understand why configure does not see these libraries.
Thank you,
Jim Woodworth

I don't recall seeing such a bug, but the first question is whether you
installed readline-devel and zlib-devel packages. Consulting the
specfile for the Fedora PG package shows you may also need many of these:
BuildRequires: perl(ExtUtils::MakeMaker) glibc-devel bison flex gawk
BuildRequires: perl(ExtUtils::Embed), perl-devel
BuildRequires: python-devel
BuildRequires: tcl
BuildRequires: tcl-devel
BuildRequires: readline-devel
BuildRequires: zlib-devel
BuildRequires: openssl-devel
BuildRequires: krb5-devel
BuildRequires: openldap-devel
BuildRequires: gettext
BuildRequires: uuid-devel
BuildRequires: libxml2-devel libxslt-devel
BuildRequires: pam-devel
BuildRequires: systemtap-sdt-devel

FWIW, http://yum.pgrpms.org has the precompiled packages for Fedora 14.

Maybe you have the readline and zlib packages installed, but not
readline-devel and zlib-devel? That's usually what bites me.
