Problem building guile 1.4

[Andrew Koenig]

System:        Solaris 2.6
Compiler:      gcc 3.0
Readline:      4.2

When I try to configure guile 1.4, it reports that it needs readline
2.1 or later, even though I have readline 4.2 installed.

I do not think that this problem occurred with gcc 2.95, so it may
be some kind of compatibility problem with 3.0.

Following is the output from running "configure" -- look for the
first line with "**" in it.



                                        Regards,


                                        Andrew Koenig
