Could someone with more programming skills than I comment on this ticket? A user thinks there should be a global fix to the problem we have with a manually installed readline. I think this must be done on a case- by-case basis. Am I missing something?
My read of the ticket is that he wasn't asking us to fix the configure scripts of any particular port, but of MacPorts itself. He was saying not that some particular port was linking against a readline in /usr/local, but that the MacPorts "port" binary itself was linking against that readline. He would like us to fix the MacPorts configure script so that MacPorts itself does not link against things in /usr/local. I don't know if that's still an issue with 1.4.42, nor if it is, how or whether it can be fixed.
