Description Peter S. Mazinger 2004-11-16 10:53:13 UTC
if python is built w/ use readline, it tries to build readline.so that fails
missing tgetent. This is defined in libncurses but libreadline does not have
DT_NEEDED -> libncurses, so it fails. glibc's ldso tolerates this if the libs
are provided at build time, but uclibc's newest ldso changes won't allow that
readlines INSTALL file describes this behaviour to allow to use tgetent from either
libncurses or libtermcap. solution: build libreadline w/ -lncurses
