I just installed ubuntu 12.04 in a VMBox and now trying to install "YAP Prolog". Therefore I download the code using "git clone ..." and obtain the code, which i have to configure and build. Configuring and building works fine on my OSX, but somehow on my linux distribution i get an error during configuration. I dont understand it and could not find anything useful in the internet. Is it possible that I need some packages? If yes, how to find out which?

I put the config.log to google docs: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1NqWwNXbHHnUT0x9uoxVqobTtmJQIrUW_4DnFrXFGn28/edit

Thank you!

  • From the `config.log` file it looks like you might be missing `libreadline-dev`. –  Oct 24 '12 at 06:02
  • already installed, but did not solve the problem =/ – Frempe Oct 24 '12 at 06:06
  • Are you sure you have the `dev` package and not just plain `libreadline`? –  Oct 24 '12 at 06:09
  • i tried both, and just "sudo apt-get install libreadline" gives me a "unable to locate package"... but "apt-get install libreadline-dev" gives me a "already at the newest version" – Frempe Oct 24 '12 at 06:17
  • If you're using `Ubuntu` I believe the readline package is called `readline-common` –  Oct 24 '12 at 06:36
  • thanks for the time you already spent! readline-common is also installed, but does not solve.. – Frempe Oct 24 '12 at 06:59

Solved: The missing library was libncurses5-dev!
