Octave installation problem

[Jan Vervoorst]

Hi,
I'm trying to install Octave 2.9.9 on a Suse Linux 10.1 machine. I get an 
almost identical error message as the one posted in this earlier thread: 
http://velveeta.che.wisc.edu/octave/lists/archive//help-octave.2006/msg01010.html

Octave warns that it can't find Readline, even though it is installed on my 
system. I read the previous responses but that didn't solve my problem. The 
Readline development libraries that came with Suse 10.1 are installed, so what 
else could be the problem?
Thanks for your help, Jan
