libread problem

[winlu]

Hallo

libread 6.3 has a packaging/linking problem.

solution is to downgrade till it is resolved.

get the old package from http://winlu.mooo.com/static/readline-6 ... pkg.tar.xz or http://europa.lerlacher.de/readline-6.2 ... pkg.tar.xz (thanks to honestly from #archlinux-arm) and install it with pacman -U <path/to/file.tar.xz>

Could you provide details of this problem?

[winlu]

sure I will try to, sadly I don't have the exact log entries anymore

for example when I tried to call dig I got the following linking error:
"symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/libreadline.so.6: undefined symbol: UP"

ldconfig did not solve the problem. symlinks were ok as well and in the right place

Same problem. PHP couldn't run anymore, throwing the same error message.
Downgrading readline fixed the problem.

dnsutils and php are being rebuilt to address this, will be in the repos soon.

i think my wpa_supplicant also had problems

[kmihelich]

Rebuilding wpa_supplicant as well.

I think readline needs to be compiled with --with-curses
From the INSTALL file of readline
$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', '`--with-curses'
This tells readline that it can find the termcap library functions
(tgetent, et al.) in the curses library, rather than a separate
termcap library. Readline uses the termcap functions, but does not
link with the termcap or curses library itself, allowing applications
which link with readline the to choose an appropriate library.
This option tells readline to link the example programs with the
curses library rather than libtermcap.
')

Update:
Well I just tried with --with-curses, but it did not include the ncurses library. So not sure how it was compiled previous version.

[kmihelich]

Good catch, though it's not needing --with-curses.

For whatever reason, a variable isn't being passed through the makefiles, so it wasn't linking to ncurses. This is fixed in readline 6.3-1.1.
