5.0.3 release candidate 1 - was: Re: [GRASS5] Roadmap: Numbering

Concerning the readline support:

I have made a test on Mandrake 9.1 (current):

configure:6605: checking whether to use Readline
configure:6626: checking for location of Readline includes
configure:6652: checking for readline/readline.h
configure:6660: gcc -E   conftest.c >/dev/null 2>conftest.out
configure:6696: checking for readline/history.h
configure:6704: gcc -E   conftest.c >/dev/null 2>conftest.out
configure:6738: checking for location of Readline library
configure:6763: checking for readline in -lreadline
configure:6780: gcc -o conftest -g -O2    -rdynamic conftest.c -lreadline   1>&5

char readline();

int main() {
readline()
; return 0; }



When adding -lncurses the test passes. Could be add -lncurses to
the config script (how) for the test?
