Hi Liang,

thanks for your mail:

Still, I have some questions:

• On which platform (operating system, version, CPU) did you have that problem, and which compiler (version) are you using ?
• Could you please mail me (personal mail) a "diff -u" output of the original file and your changed version, or (if that is easier) the complete changed "Makefile.am" ?

Also, I am a bit curious: Why are you using "libedit" ?

Many people consider "readline" better than "libedit" (no flames intended !), and we got some bugs filed against "libedit" which do not occur with "readline" AFAIK.
The only reason for MySQL AB to use "libedit" (in the commercial builds) is that "readline" is under GPL license, so we are allowed to use it in our GPL builds only.
The source tree contains both, and "configure --with-readline" is easy enough ...

Thanks,
Joerg
