Octave-forge failed to configure

[Luyi Chen]

Hi,

I am building octave-forge-2006.03.17 on cygwin. I got the following error:

$ ./configure
checking for gcc... gcc
checking for C compiler default output file name... a.exe
checking whether the C compiler works... yes
checking whether we are cross compiling... no
checking for suffix of executables... .exe
checking for suffix of object files... o
checking whether we are using the GNU C compiler... yes
checking whether gcc accepts -g... yes
checking for gcc option to accept ANSI C... none needed
checking for mkoctfile... mkoctfile
/usr/lib/gcc/i686-pc-cygwin/3.4.4/../../../../i686-pc-cygwin/bin/ld: cannot find
-lreadline
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
configure: error: Could not run mkoctfile


Any ideas?
