Hi,

trying to buil hamlib from source on a FC39 machine and get the following when running make:

make[1]: Entering directory '/home/jamie/Hamlib/c++'

Try this:
sudo dnf makecache --refresh
sudo dnf -y install libreadline-dev

ah yes that works, installing the readline-devel rpm. sorry, i should have thought to look if readline was an external libary that was needed

thank you
