Asp Forum - extconf.rb not seeing readline.h

What does it take for extconf.rb to recognize readline.h?

extconf.rb seems blind to whatever I tell it.

Here, extconf.rb does not see readline.h:

cd ext/readline
% ../../ruby extconf.rb
checking for tgetnum() in -lncurses... no
checking for tgetnum() in -ltermcap... yes
checking for readline/readline.h... no
checking for editline/readline.h... no

Here, it is plainly visible in the directories it should be looking:

% ../../ruby -r mkmf -e 'p Config::CONFIG["CPPFLAGS"]'
"-I/TOOLS/dist/gnu-readline-5.1/sparc64-sun-solaris2.8/include/readline"
% ../../ruby -r mkmf -e 'p Config::CONFIG["CFLAGS"]'
"-I/TOOLS/dist/gnu-readline-5.1/sparc64-sun-solaris2.8/include/readline"
% ../../ruby -r mkmf -e 'p Config::CONFIG["LDFLAGS"]'
"-L/TOOLS/dist/gnu-readline-5.1/sparc64-sun-solaris2.8/lib"
% ls -alF /TOOLS/dist/gnu-readline-5.1/sparc64-sun-solaris2.8/include/readline
total 84
drwxrwsr-x 2 jdf jdf 4096 Jan 30 11:03 ./
drwxrwsr-x 3 jdf jdf 4096 Jan 30 11:03 ../
-rw-r--r-- 1 jdf jdf 10207 Jan 30 11:03 history.h
-rw-r--r-- 1 jdf jdf 34354 Jan 30 11:03 readline.h
...

% ls -alF /TOOLS/dist/gnu-readline-5.1/sparc64-sun-solaris2.8/lib
total 2256
drwxrwsr-x 2 jdf jdf 4096 Jan 30 11:03 ./
drwxrwsr-x 7 jdf jdf 4096 Jan 30 11:03 ../
...
-rw-r--r-- 1 jdf jdf 1053548 Jan 30 11:03 libreadline.a
lrwxrwxrwx 1 jdf jdf 16 Jan 30 11:03 libreadline.so ->
libreadline.so.5
-rw-r--r-- 1 jdf jdf 917076 Jan 30 11:03 libreadline.so.5

Can someone splain why? ;)

Could you attach your mkmf.log?

Some of my favorite "Zepp" quotes are the election predictions in 2000
and 2004:

Kurt>Tell us again about those 400 electoral votes that Algore's going
to
Kurt>get.
Kurt>How are you going to spin this, Bryan? Have you begun to think
about
Kurt>that yet?
Kurt>I'll bet you have............

"I predict you won't be asking me about that after Tuesday."

Gee, Gurless Hartung, don't you wish we were right? Don't you think
that not invading Iraq, not slaughtering thousands of our fighting men
and women for nothing would have been a good idea? How about being a
part of a nation that treated others the way we wanted to be treated
and not torturing any one? Are you really so gutless that you want
more people tortured?

How about a sane, rational administration that didn't take our nation
into the deepest debt ever? Wouldn't that have been a good idea? How
about holding on to our old position, the position of the Clinton
administration, that we were the world leaders in diplomacy? Wouldn't
that have been better?

Yeah, Hartung, so sorry we were wrong about how foolish our fellow
Americans were. The election of Bush will go down in history just as
the election of James Buchanan, a complete failure as president.

Understand, old man, everyone here now knows you are in your 60s,
suffering from senile dementia, sputtering rage against your own
impotence, and incapable of enjoying life in the slightest any more -
hence your billious fits of partisan rage here. All a displacment
activity allowing you to project your inability to control your own
life, waning libido, and growing prostate onto a convenient whipping
post - conservatives.

You exist as little more than a spittle-rimmed, tantrum-laden,
intolerant old curmudgeon, a veritable Walt Kowalski, minus the
benevolent instincts and bereft of the slightest means to defend
yourself against the debating acumen of even the most enfeebled
participants here.

What a sad old fool you are.
