Problems with Readline and Guile 1.3, long

["Rafael E. Herrera" <raffo@neuronet.pitt.edu>]

Hi,

I'm tryng to compile Guile in a linux box with SuSE 6.0, egcs 2.91.60
and the readline library from Bash 2.02.1(1). At the configure stage,
the test for readline fails with this log message:

========= config.log
configure:2495: checking for readline in -lreadline
configure:2514: gcc -o conftest -g -O2   conftest.c -lreadline  -lm 
1>&5
/usr/lib/libreadline.a(display.o): In function `rl_redisplay':
display.o(.text+0xb8f): undefined reference to `tputs'
/usr/lib/libreadline.a(display.o): In function `update_line':
display.o(.text+0x10e2): undefined reference to `tputs'
/usr/lib/libreadline.a(display.o): In function
`_rl_move_cursor_relative':
display.o(.text+0x13b9): undefined reference to `tputs'
/usr/lib/libreadline.a(display.o): In function `_rl_move_vert':
...
[A lot of "undefined reference to `something' lines]
...
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
configure: failed program was:
#line 2503 "configure"
#include "confdefs.h"
/* Override any gcc2 internal prototype to avoid an error.  */
/* We use char because int might match the return type of a gcc2
    builtin and then its argument prototype would still apply.  */
char readline();

int main() {
readline()
; return 0; }
========= config.log

The ouput in the console was:

...
checking for readline in -lreadline... no
checking for rl_clear_signals... no
checking for rl_cleanup_after_signal... no
checking for rl_getc_function pointer in readline... yes
...

Since I got no message in the sense that the build would fail I did a
make. Well, the build failed. It did in the directory
./guile-1.3/libguile with:

gcc -g -O2 -Wall -Wpointer-arith -Wmissing-prototypes -o .libs/guile
guile.o -Wl,--rpath -Wl,/opt/gsupport/lib .libs/libguile.so -ldl -lm
-ldl -lm
.libs/libguile.so: undefined reference to `rl_deprep_term_function'
.libs/libguile.so: undefined reference to `rl_instream'
.libs/libguile.so: undefined reference to `rl_redisplay'
...[a lot of undefined references]
.libs/libguile.so: undefined reference to `_rl_init_argument'
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

The file readline.c didn't fail to compile, though.
The Readline library is just a static one, /usr/lib/libreadline.a, there
is nop dynamic one.
My questions are: Is the Readline provided with Bash 2.02 appropriate
for this realease of guile? 
Can anybody give a recommendation?
The configure script doesn't seem to adapt the build for when the
readline testing fails. Any help will ba appreciated. Thanks.
