Maintainers, see blocked bug #457530 for fix.

Comment 2 Evgeniy Dushistov 2013-07-06 16:36:30 UTC

I see the same bug, to compile some soft I have to change ncurses use flags like this:
sys-libs/ncurses tinfo

and now readline emerge failed with:
configure: error: !!! no tgetent - no screen

the config.log tells about tgetent:
configure:4000: x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-gcc -o conftest -O3 -march=native -pipe  -D_GNU_SOURCE -Dxrealloc=_rl_realloc -Dxmalloc=_rl_malloc -Dxfree=_rl_free -Wl,-O1 -Wl,--as-needed -L. conftest.c -lncurses  >&5
/tmp/portage/sys-libs/readline-6.2_p4/temp/ccwEtlGt.o: In function `main':
conftest.c:(.text.startup+0xb): undefined reference to `tgetent'

(In reply to Justin Lecher from comment #5)

*which* configure is that ?  i'm guessing that's the rlfe example dir and not readline itself.

Comment 9 PaX Team 2013-12-30 16:09:33 UTC

this is still wrong, LIBS=... does not start at the beginning of the line in examples/rlfe/configure therefore the correct regexp is /LIBS=.... (i.e., just remove that caret).

must have grepped the wrong file.  should be fixed now though.
