Am trying to install 2.14.0 on a CentOS system.  The configure script
apparently can't find something to do with the readline library:

 

Configure: error: --with-readline=yes (default) and headers/libs are not
available

 

Yes, I know I need readline 4.2 or later.  "yum" assures me that rev 5.1
is already installed.

 

And I know I need to provide configuration flags if it is in a
non-system directory, but such is not the case.  readline was put in
with a standard OS installation.

 

And I know that I need the full developer package, as opposed to the
user only versions, but the heck if I can find any such separate
package.  "yum" doesn't know anything about it.

 

So, in short, I have a completely standard install of readline, as far
as I can tell, but the configure script can't find it.

 

Anyone have any ideas?

 

Thanks.
