This thread petered out after January 30, which was fine with me because we couldn't diagnose why Allison's proposed patch was causing Configure.pl to throw warnings on Darwin (OS X 10.4.11, ppc, gcc-3.3) at config/auto/readline.pm. Configure.pl quietly did its thing for me for the next 6 weeks.
But somewhere between r26279 (Sun Mar 09) and r26357 (today, Thu Mar 13), someone committed some code to trunk which caused Configure.pl to throw warnings at the same location. This is what I got tonight: Determining if your platform supports readline...dyld: lazy symbol binding failed: Symbol not found: _rl_get_keymap Referenced from: /Users/jimk/work/parrot/./test Expected in: dynamic lookup dyld: Symbol not found: _rl_get_keymap Referenced from: /Users/jimk/work/parrot/./test Expected in: dynamic lookup .......................no. I had installed readline via Fink and, prior to this recent commit, config/auto/readline.pm was correctly detecting it under /sw/lib/. Could we find out who committed what, when and why, so that we can discuss remedies? Thank you very much. kid51
