(4.1p1) Building failure with libedit on FreeBSD 4.x-RELEASE

[Norihiko Murase]

Hi,

I did check also the following change
  > 20050810
  >  - (dtucker) [configure.ac] Test libedit library and headers for compatibility.
  >    Report from skeleten AT shillest.net, ok djm@
via the SNAP-20050811 version, which was available at
  ftp://ftp.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/OpenSSH/portable/snapshot/ .


Now the configure script does detect the non-compatible
version of libedit with the following messages:
------------------------------------------------------------
...(snip)...
checking for el_init in -ledit... yes
checking if libedit version is compatible... no
configure: error: libedit version is not compatible
------------------------------------------------------------

However, it may be better that you should change the
configure.ac file by applying EITHER OF the 2 patches
attached:
    configure_ac_libedit1.diff
    configure_ac_libedit2.diff
The config.log file contains the following; you can see the
curious test program, where the main() contains the main().
------------------------------------------------------------
This file contains any messages produced by compilers while
running configure, to aid debugging if configure makes a mistake.

It was created by OpenSSH configure Portable, which was
generated by GNU Autoconf 2.59.  Invocation command line was

  $ ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/OpenSSH --with-rpath --without-osfsia --with-zlib=/usr/local/zlib --without-skey --without-tcp-wrappers --with-libedit --without-audit --without-pam --with-ssl-dir=/usr/local/OpenSSL --without-rand-helper --with-privsep-user=sshd --with-privsep-path=/var/empty --without-sectok --without-opensc --without-kerberos5 --with-xauth=/usr/X11R6/bin/xauth --without-ipaddr-display --with-default-path=/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin --with-superuser-path=/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin --without-4in6 --with-pid-dir=/var/run

------------------------------------------------------------

I THINK that these patch fixes this curious test program,
but I can't be sure of that... UNABLE to test this because I
don't have the autoconf tools installed on the system of me.
   X-)

Also, I am trying to install on the FreeBSD-4.x system
the libedit distributed at
  http://www.thrysoee.dk/editline/ ,
but I haven't succeeded; I am going to contact the author of
it.


Thank you very much,
