Hi There! Yes I KNOW that i am using complete ~x86 system! This is what it is made for! Its my Gentoo Test PC! I just can't compile readline. It gives me this error: [code] configure: checking return type of signal handlers... configure: checking sigset... configure: checking signal implementation... configure: creating ./config.status config.status: creating Makefile config.status: creating config.h i586-pc-linux-gnu-gcc -c -I. -I. -O3 -march=pentium-mmx -mmmx -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer rlfe.c i586-pc-linux-gnu-gcc -c -I. -I. -O3 -march=pentium-mmx -mmmx -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer pty.c rlfe.c:81:33: readline/readline.h: No such file or directory rlfe.c:82:32: readline/history.h: No such file or directory rlfe.c: In function `maybe_emphasize_input': rlfe.c:265: error: `rl_outstream' undeclared (first use in this function) rlfe.c:265: error: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once rlfe.c:265: error: for each function it appears in.) rlfe.c: In function `main': rlfe.c:419: error: `rl_readline_name' undeclared (first use in this function) rlfe.c:553: error: `rl_instream' undeclared (first use in this function) rlfe.c:554: error: `rl_getc_function' undeclared (first use in this function) rlfe.c:556: error: `rl_prep_term_function' undeclared (first use in this function) rlfe.c:557: error: `rl_deprep_term_function' undeclared (first use in this function) rlfe.c:558: error: `rl_pre_input_hook' undeclared (first use in this function) make: *** [rlfe.o] Error 1 make: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs.... pty.c: In function `OpenPTY': pty.c:269: warning: assignment makes pointer from integer without a cast !!!

care to take a look when you get a min agriffis ? if not, i'll hack on it later if you like
What is agriffis ?
I encountered the same error when creating new gentoo system. A workaround was to install an older version of readline (readline-5.0-r2), then install this version of readline (readline-5.1-r2)
fixed in cvs
