I wasn't able to install your editline-0.1 package under Solaris. Our
installed files are:

 /usr/local/lib/libeditline.so -> libeditline.so.0.0.0
 /usr/local/lib/libeditline.so.0 -> libeditline.so.0.0.0
 /usr/local/lib/libeditline.so.0.0.0
 /usr/local/lib/libeditline.a
 /usr/local/lib/libeditline.la
 /usr/local/include/editline.h
