John, I did install the readline-dev package (libreadline5-dev), which got past the readline dependencies. Is that not the right package?
At any rate these subsequent errors seem to be unrelated except that they are the result of changes in the same source files. It looks like there is a discrepancy between halcmd_completion.c and the associated header file, and further, a conditional in the make file which is not being met to allow the file to compile. I haven't looked into it enough to see what sets that conditional. Is there an alternate way of installing readline-dev which will set it? Thanks, Eric Forcing things isn't going to work. You must have the readline-dev package installed to have readline support, and the current code must have readline support to build. You have found one bug in the build system - if readline is required, the configure step should stop and print an error message when it is missing. Jeff has said he is going to fix that. To make EMC2 compile, install readline-dev. Making halcmd build correctly without readline support is possible but complex and IMO not worth the trouble. As Jeff has pointed out, many Unix/Linux programs use readline, and its not unreasonable for EMC to depend on it. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by the 2008 JavaOne(SM) Conference Don't miss this year's exciting event.
