Wait a minute. Just for the record I just tested my OpenSuse 32-bit build of sage with libreadline.so* deleted, and Python, Gap, and PARI all *do* get built with readline support. Also, singular builds fine with readline support. So I think you messed up somewhere in your test. I checked and Python is definitely not picking up a system-wide devel readline either. However, Sage doesn't startup, failing with this error: ImportError: /home/wstein/build/opensuse32/build/sage-3.2.3.final/local/lib/libsingular.so: undefined symbol: tputs So there may be an issue somehow with *libsingular* and readline. Anyway, my evidence does not agree at all with your observation that statically linking in readline.a results in a Python without readline and a singular that doesn't build. But there are still issues.
