seems readline lacks -lcurses:

LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libcurses.so.1 ldd -r /usr/lib/libreadline.so.5  
        /usr/lib/libcurses.so.1
        libc.so.1 =>     /lib/libc.so.1
        libm.so.2 =>     /lib/libm.so.2

Workarround:
alias smbclient="LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libcurses.so.1 smbclient"

Julian - something being resolved by someone for the oi_151 respin?

Actually, it's -ltermcap that libreadline normally links with.
The attached patch (export-415.txt) fixes it in userland-gate.
Where can I push this? Or can someone import it for me?

Attached updated libreadline binaries for fix verification.
i.e. cd / ; bzip2 -dc /tmp/readline.tar.bz2 |tar xvf -

Attached a short-term fix, just for OI-151.

A much better long-term fix is to use a libreadline built to
depend on the libtermcap filter library as proposed in: 1206
https://www.illumos.org/issues/1206

Uh, actually, that previous did not work. Upon further investigation:

The real root cause of this problem is that Samba links smbclient
with the "-z ignore" option, so even though the link line for smbclient
included -lreadline -lcurses, the "-z ignore" flags caused it to discard
the dependency on -lcurses due to lack of references from smbclient.

A safer approach here is to not use the "-z ignore" flags.

There is actually an autoconf test to dissable "-z ignore" when a
test program linked with -lreadline -lcurses does not resolve all
its symbols, but that autoconf test does not work on illumos
because you have to try actually running the program (not just
linking it) to find out if all the symbols can be resolved.

Attached is an updated version of this SFW gate file:
usr/src/cmd/samba/Patches/configure.in.diff

If you drop that into an SFW tree and rebuild, that will
fix this bug.

The fix can be verified by either running smbclient, or
"ldd smbclient" and make sure libcurses is listed.

Closed per user's review.
