[Freeipmi-devel] readline install not detected by freeIPMI

[Noonan, Andrew]

Hi all,

 

            I hate to spam a list like this, but I didn’t see any bug-reports or problem section on the main page… please direct me if I’m wrong.  I’m trying to use FreeIPMI to read the SEL off of a Dell 6650, except I’m having difficulty installing the program.  I did standard ./configure and make/make installs on guile 1.6.5 and readline 4.3, and these seemed to be successful, but when I run a make on FreeIPMI 0.1.0, it complains about:

 

Fish(PANIC): strange readline library, no compatible "rl_completion_matches" call, please submit BUG-REPORT

 

The machine is running VMWare ESX 2.0, which is based on a 2.4.9 kernel.  Also, I’m not super-adept in Linux, though I muck around OK, but I’m pretty sure the steps I took were straightforward.  Personally, I’m curious about the path the compiler uses to find the readline library, as there’s a readline library in /usr/lib and my install of readline was placed in /usr/local/lib.

 

Thanks,

Andrew Noonan
