when compiling HaXML with 6.01 on mandrake, I got /usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lreadline, as detailled hereafter.

also , when I installed the rpm I also got a message on readline missing,

despite it is installed.

is anybody aware of this issue ? any variable to set ? on mandrale,

readline is on /lib/libreadline.so.4.3. what about redhat ?

thanks , Luc
