[gnome-db] Configuration problem for V4 branch

[Phil Longstaff <plongstaff rogers com>]

I checkout out the V4 branch.  When I tried to configure it, it couldn't
find readline.  Here's the section from the output of configure:

checking for Xbase files... configure: WARNING: Xbase backend not used
checking for MDB Tools files... configure: WARNING: MDB backend not used
checking for LDAP files... found LDAP in /usr
checking for SQLITE... checking for readline in -lreadline... no

checking readline/readline.h presence... yes
checking for readline/readline.h... yes
checking readline/history.h usability... yes
checking readline/history.h presence... yes
checking for readline/history.h... yes

When I try 'make all install', I get:

/bin/sh ../libtool --tag=CC --mode=link gcc  -g -O2   -o gda-sql-4.0

which makes sense since READLINE_LIB is an empty string.

I do have both readline and readline-devel rpms installed.

If I modify READLINE_LIB to have the value '-lreadline', it builds fine:

/bin/sh ../libtool --tag=CC --mode=link gcc  -g -O2   -o gda-sql-4.0

I don't know the autotools/configure system well enough to debug the
problem.  I am running on opensuse 10.2.
