Summary: termcap vs terminfo - AIX 4.3.3

Initial Comment:
Hi,

I am compiling Python-2.2.1 on AIX 4.3.3 and do not 
have the termcap library available. 

The command:
./Modules/ld_so_aix cc_r -bI:Modules/python.exp 
build/temp.aix-4.3-2.2/_cursesmodule.o -
L/usr/local/lib -lcurses -ltermcap -o build/lib.aix-
4.3-2.2/_curses.so

fails with:
ld: 0706-006 Cannot find or open library file: -l 
termcap
        ld:open(): A file or directory in the path 
name does not exist.

So I enabled the line in Modules/Setup "#readline 
readline.c -lreadline -ltermcap" as "readline 
readline.c -lreadline" .

However the compile fails because not all of 
readline.c 's include files are available:
"./Modules/readline.c", line 17.10: 1506-296 (S) 
#include file <readline/readline.h> not found.
"./Modules/readline.c", line 18.10: 1506-296 (S) 
#include file <readline/history.h> not found.

These include files are not in the 2.0, 2.0.1 or 2.2.1 
source files.

I could not find a GNU site where I had access to 
download the source for readline. 

Am I on the right track? Or would the linker still 
fail after I compile readline.C with the missing 
include files? Should I rather be using terminfo?

Yours sincerely

Chris Matthews
