Hello,

I had the same problem  as the one posted by Jason Rennie,  see the copy 
of his message below. The libraries asked by Configure
have been installed, still I get these errors. Could anyone give the 
golden hint to solve this?

Thanks

Hello,

I just tried to configure the current development version of octave 
(2.1.43).  Configure barfed

checking for tputs in -lncurses... no
checking for tputs in -lcurses... no
checking for tputs in -ltermcap... no
checking for tputs in -lterminfo... no
checking for tputs in -ltermlib... no
configure: WARNING: I couldn't find -ltermcap, -lterminfo, -lncurses, -lcurses, or -ltermlib!
checking for rl_set_keyboard_input_timeout in -lreadline... no
configure: WARNING: I need GNU Readline 4.2 or later
configure: error: this is fatal unless you specify --disable-readline

even though

[jrennie at tiikeri octave-2.1.43]$ ls -l /lib/libtermcap*
lrwxrwxrwx    1 root     root           19 Jun 22  2001 /lib/libtermcap.so.2 -> libtermcap.so.2.0.8
-rw-r--r--    1 root     root        10500 Feb  3  2000 /lib/libtermcap.so.2.0.8
[jrennie at tiikeri octave-2.1.43]$ ls -l /lib/libreadline*
lrwxrwxrwx    1 root     root           18 Sep  9 09:26 /lib/libreadline.so.4 -> libreadline.so.4.2
-rw-r--r--    1 root     root       146320 Feb  5  2002 /lib/libreadline.so.4.2

and

[jrennie at tiikeri octave-2.1.43]$ echo $LD_LIBRARY_PATH
/home/ai2/jrennie/usr/linux/lib:/home/ai2/jrennie/usr/lib:/lib:/usr/lib:/usr/local/lib

any ideas?

Thanks!

Jason
