OSX: Installing GNU Readline support


Sometimes, the gnu readline stuff is useful.

To install it:

  1. Download the latest readlines source

  2. A mod must be made to compensate for a file location change in 10.2 which affects the 4.3 makefile. To fix this, edit support/shobj-conf to change line 151 from

    SHLIB_LIBS='-lSystem'

    to

    SHLIB_LIBS='-lSystem -lncurses -lcc_dynamic'

  3. ./configure

  4. make

  5. sudo make install
