[with spkg, positive review] readline on opensuse11 64-bit still doesn't work

[was]

On opensuse64 (a sage.math vmware machine):

Overwriting libreadline.so.5.2 with the system one
cp: cannot stat `/lib/libreadline.so.5.2': No such file or directory
Readline's build claims to have finished, but files that should have been built weren't.

sage: An error occurred while installing readline-5.2.p5
Please email sage-devel http://groups.google.com/group/sage-devel
explaining the problem and send the relevant part of
of /home/wstein/build/opensuse64/build/sage-3.2.3/install.log.  Describe your computer, operating system, etc.
If you want to try to fix the problem, yourself *don't* just cd to
/home/wstein/build/opensuse64/build/sage-3.2.3/spkg/build/readline-5.2.p5 and type 'make'.
Instead type "/home/wstein/build/opensuse64/build/sage-3.2.3/sage -sh"
in order to set all environment variables correctly, then cd to
/home/wstein/build/opensuse64/build/sage-3.2.3/spkg/build/readline-5.2.p5
(When you are done debugging, you can type "exit" to leave the
subshell.)

The fix here is to use /lib64 on OpenSUSE 11.1 with 64 bits while using /lib with the 32 bit version. I will post an updated spkg in the next 24 hours.

Cheers,

The spkg at

 http://sage.math.washington.edu/home/mabshoff/release-cycles-3.3/alpha4/readline-5.2.p6.spkg

fixes the problem. Tested on OpenSUSE 11.1 64 bit :)

Cheers,

Looks good.

Merged in Sage 3.3.alpha4.
