6 | ||
7 | This occurs if the Readline library detected by Guile's configure | |
8 | script is actually the BSD Editline project's supposedly | |
9 | Readline-compatible library. The immediate fix is to uninstall | |
10 | Editline and install the real GNU Readline instead. When you do this, | |
11 | please note that it probably won't work to keep Editline in /usr and | |
12 | install GNU Readline in /usr/local (or some similar arrangement), | |
13 | because the Editline library will then still be picked up at link and | |
14 | run time; it's best (subject to other constraints) to remove Editline | |
15 | completely. | |
16 | ||
17 | For the longer term, please also report this problem to the Editline | |
18 | project, to encourage them to fix it in the next release of their | |
19 | Readline compatibility library. |
