Quote:

Hello onegin,

Most of the time, this is due to systems just having trimmed down version of libraries (no headers), making impossible any reuse of these libraries in new compilation.

In the documentation (See Installing adesklets > Compilation requirements), I wrote:


Many systems routinely package ?development? versions of libraries and tools separately (imlib2-devel, readline-devel, fontconfig-devel, python-devel, etc); if this is the case for the target system, those have to be chosen over the ?regular? versions.

So make sure you have the 'development' version of GNU readline installed. If this doesn't help (there is a fair chance it will), send me (syfou@users.sourceforge.net) the config.log resulting from the failing configuration, and I will look into this. Yours,
