Thanks!

I think it does. Look at the following snippet:

configure:12903: error: libedit not found
-->8--

After this, config.log has a dump of lots of internal autoconf state.

But this line is key:
--8<--
/usr/lib64/gcc/x86_64-suse-linux/4.3/../../../../x86_64-suse-linux/bin/ld: cannot find -lcurses
-->8--

It shows the actual error message, which was encountered during the
libedit probing.
