Description Olaf Hering 2008-06-06 12:55:42 UTC 
python 2.5.2 has this in configure.in:

# check for readline 4.0
AC_CHECK_LIB(readline, rl_pre_input_hook,
        AC_DEFINE(HAVE_RL_PRE_INPUT_HOOK, 1,
        [Define if you have readline 4.0]), , )


The resulting code lacks the proper includes, as described in bug #397929
configure prints:

checking for rl_pre_input_hook in -lreadline... no


Maybe its a binutils issue on powerpc32, because it links appearently ok on powerpc64.

rl_pre_input_hook is not a function.
