problems with parted1.4.1

[Joachim Heidemeier]

Hallo,
I ran into 3 problems with parted 1.4.1 on suse-linux 6.3
1) the bootdisk didn't work with my scsi-drive (simple NCR810 controller)
so as I wanted to resize the boot partition I tried to
2) build a static version of parted  (a good idea IMHO). But the configure
stuff set the PARTED_LIBRARIES to "-lncurses -lreadline" giving unresolved
references in lreadline to lncurses. the two libs should be switched in
all makefiles.
3) after having built a full-static parted without readline (stripped size
600 K) and running it on the suse rescue system I was able to move a
partitions but the program core-dumped with segmentation fault when I
wanted to resize a 3 GB-Partion to 4 G. Trying to resize less I was able
to resize it in 10-20 MB steps to 3070 MB but at the next attempt to 3090
M the program dumped again.
The disk is a  Vendor: 
IBM       Model: DCAS-34330W       Rev: S65A
<4>  Type:   Direct-Access                      ANSI SCSI revision: 02

Thanks in advance
