Hi Damien,

I just stumbled across an issue today building 5.4p1 on SLES 10 with
libedit support. When --with-libedit is used, configure will use
-lcurses when testing for a functional libedit. On SLES 10 (and perhaps
other OS's) there is no libcurses.so (evan as a symlink) so the test
fails.

It may be best to check for -lcurses and -lncurses, and then use the
appropriate library when checking for -ledit.

I'm not an autoconf wizard and thus don't have an actual patch to
submit. I'm just working around the issue by hacking the configure
script.
