NcFTP's configure & readline

[Andre Oliveira da Costa]

Hi,

while trying to compile ncftp v2.4.3 for cygwin B20.1 (patched with 19991122
snapshot), its configure script complained about not being able to find
readline. Since I know libreadline.a lives on /cygnus/.../lib/libreadline.a,
I decided to take a closer look at config.log, and I found this:

configure:2436: gcc -o conftest -O2 -I/usr/local/include -L/usr/local/lib
confte
st.c -lreadline   1>&5
c:\cygnus\CYGWIN~1\H-I586~1\bin\..\lib\gcc-lib\i586-cygwin32\egcs-2.91.57\..
\..\
../libreadline.a(readline.o)(.text+0x1815):readline.c: undefined reference
to `_ctype_'

Looking even closer, I realized all the complaints were about the same
_ctype_, which a grep on the include files at /cygnus/.../include reports as
being defined on ctype.h. Is there anything strange with my configuration or
should I have done something else on the configure phase?

My cygwin is B20.1, with cygwin-inst-19991122.tar.gz installed over it. I
attached the output of cygcheck -s in case anybody would like to take a look
at it.

TIA,

Andre
