[GRASSLIST:5917] Re: 6.0.0beta2 configure failure

[Jack Varga]

Rich,

I suggest you familiarize yourself with searching through the grasslist 
archives.  In there you will find references to both your problems.  To 
include support for readline, you must link in the ncurses library 
manually, at least on linux with the gnu compilers.  There are examples 
in the archive as to how you do that.  Regarding fftw, you must use a 
version prior to v. 3.x, at least at this time.

Lastly, its not so much that configure can't find needed libraries as 
it is that the configure process cannot find the proper symbols it needs 
in the library.
