That may not be the best idea after all: in your source code, you may not want to require a termcap symbol, and then your link could fail for the same reason. You could try linking without as-needed, with the known consequences for other libraries. If readline happens to already be linked against ncurses, if I understand things right, then adding a symbol from termcap and using as-needed and -ltermcap, you might end up loading both termcap and ncurses at run time. Yuck. I can't test this right now, but IIRC then the linker works breadth-first. Hmm. Cheers, Ralf
