sam7utils now at 0.2.1 (as of 2/23/2008)

If retrieving the sam7utils package, note that you should retrieve sam7utils-0.2.1.tar.gz.

The newer version no longer needs the at91 driver; it uses libusb instead.

Cannot past configure

I have followed this step by step and cannot get passed beyond configure as it complains about -lreadline. Adding the export LDFLAGS=-lcurses or -lncurses still does not fix the problem. Where does it exactly look for this readline library?
I tried typing cpp -v and gcc -c -v test.c the search path is :

#include <...> search starts here:
/usr/local/include
/usr/lib/gcc/i486-linux-gnu/4.1.3/include
/usr/include
End of search list.

How does this work?
