           Summary: python fails to find readlines rl_pre_input_hook()
                    function
           Product: openSUSE 11.0
           Version: RC 2
          Platform: PowerPC
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Major
          Priority: P5 - None
         Component: Basesystem
        AssignedTo: jmatejek@novell.com
        ReportedBy: olh@novell.com

libreadline has a rl_pre_input_hook() pointer.
Some autoconf macro in configure.in gives an incorrect prototype for this
external function.
As a result, the conftest app fails to link due to the incorrect prototype, and
python gets no support for the pre_input_hook in the readline bindings.

I dont know wether the linker is too strict now, if autoconf has to put the
correct include files in the configure test app or if something else is going
on.

For 11.0 we need this patch to get orthos working, it relies on readline.
