Dear developers,on Debian 8.6 (jessie), configure failed to find the right libreadline, or failed to determine its version. Despite having libreadline 6.0 installed, configure complained about needing at least version 2.1. I then built and installed libreadline 7.0, and used --with-readline-prefix, but the warning persisted. However, it seems to have compiled with readline support, since at least basic readline features are working.
And (version) returns 2.0.11. Regards Michael
