Readline doesn't need -ltermcap (at least on some systems), so configure check should deal with this. Attached patch completely removes -ltermcap, however better might be to check both possibilities. Patch is against 2.3.3, however it applies to 2.4 also.

Logged In: YES user_id=21627 The patch is incorrect. As you suggest yourself, readline does need -ltermcap on some systems; this patch breaks these systems. Rejecting the patch. If you can come up with a patch that performs an autoconf test first, please submit a new patch.

Logged In: YES user_id=192186 Okay, here is IMHO correct patch, which does more or less same as setup.py does for finding needed libraries.

Logged In: YES user_id=21627 This patch is still incorrect. It breaks on systems where readline requires termcap, e.g. Solaris.

I think this patch is obsolete since r41945; closing it as out-of-date.
