Have you taken into account the following messages for the reason to have SHLIB_LIBS="-L/LFS-tools/lib -lncursesw"? https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-readline/2007-03/msg00003.html and its reply https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-readline/2007-03/msg00005.html https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-readline/2014-04/msg00007.html and its reply https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-readline/2014-04/msg00024.html Thank you. > Pierre -- Best regards, Tadeus -- http://lists.linuxfromscratch.org/listinfo/lfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/faq/ Unsubscribe: See the above information page
