Uwe,

Thank you for your email.

1) On my system I checked for readline-devel:

# rpm -qa | grep readline
readline-6.0-3.el6.x86_64
compat-readline5-5.2-17.1.el6.x86_64

So, should I install "yum install readline-devel"  before I configure new 
version of bacula??


2)I looked in to the configure --help in bacula version  5.2.6. I see that 
"conio" is enabled by default. Should I disable it (--disable-conio)???

"--disable-conio       disable conio support [default=no]" ????


3)I see that by default readline is disabled. Should I enable it 
"--with-readline"???

--disable-readline      disable readline support [default=yes]
--with-readline[=DIR]   specify readline library directory

Is it just enough if I install "readline-devel" through yum to be able to 
recall commands on bconsole or should I also configure bacula with " 
"--disable-conio" and "--with-readline"????

I would really appreciate you rhelp.

Thank you.
Uthra

Usually the configure script will pick up the libreadline dev libs during the 
configuration run and add the option automatically. My guess is you're missing 
the development libraries which you can install using yum: 

# rpm -qa | grep readline
readline-devel-6.0-3.el6.x86_64
readline-6.0-3.el6.x86_64

yum install readline-devel 

should get you going. 

HTH, Uwe
