libedit

[Ted Creedon]

Moving s sccessful compole of 5.2.p1 from a Suse 10.3 x86-64 box to a Suse
11.1 x86-box created a build problem

./configure --with-libedit=/usr/lib64
checking for el_init in -ledit... no
configure: error: libedit not found


however libedit (amd el_init) certainly exist:

ookpik:/data/openssh-5.2p1.test # l /usr/lib64/libedit*
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root     17 Apr  4 17:11 /usr/lib64/libedit.so ->
libedit.so.0.0.27*
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root     17 Apr  4 17:10 /usr/lib64/libedit.so.0 ->
libedit.so.0.0.27*
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 180568 Dec  3 02:50 /usr/lib64/libedit.so.0.0.27*

any clues?

Thanks
