Summary: readline needs termcap on my FC6

Initial Comment:
Compiling python-2.5 and trunk (r53624) on my Fedora Core 6 i386 works but does not use GNU readline because of the following excerpt from config.log:

configure:21255: gcc -pthread -o conftest -O2 -march=i386 -mtune=pentium-m -fomit-frame-pointer   conftest.c -lreadline  -lpthread -l
dl  -lutil >&5

collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

This seems related to http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-checkins/2006-January/048725.html

python-2.4.4 works fine, but it does not contain the aforementionned commit.

Thanks.
