[Bug 916] Build failure on Slackware 14.1 (./configure rejects libreadline.so)

--- Comment #6 from duncan_roe at acslink.net.au ---
I still see

checking for readline in -lreadline... no
configure: error: No suitable version of libreadline found

Just to be clear, I ran ./autogen.sh as Pablo Neira Ayuso advised in Comment 3.
After that, there was no console output from autoconfig.

I ran libtoolize --force as Piyush Pangtey advised in comment 5.
The last line output by libtoolize is:
  libtoolize: Remember to add `LT_INIT' to configure.ac.
so I did that:

00:03:12$ git diff     
diff --git a/configure.ac b/configure.ac
index 0d7e6ed..e76e646 100644

+LT_INIT

(END)

If I apply  patch_-p0_file (needs fuzz factor 3 now) it all works:

00:25:16$ git checkout -- configure.ac
00:27:14$ cat configure.ac.patch|patch -F 3 -p0

Hunk #1 succeeded at 71 with fuzz 3.
