Hi az, > the ubuntu packages that i checked (for ubuntu releases 16.x, 18.x, > 19.x)
It would be handy to know Norm's Ubuntu's version: `lsb_release -a'. > were all correct(but see below) in that they didn't link libreadline > and didn't depend on that package either. > > second hunch: your system has a mix of locally built nmh binaries and > some stuff from ubuntu. your locally built stuff was built against > libreadline I think this second hunch is most likely, with bits of an old nmh kicking around and found by $PATH, perhaps even from an earlier Ubuntu that had libreadline6 rather than a later version. So Norm should check which comp(1) is being run when he gets the `libreadline.so.6: cannot open' error, e.g. `type comp'. -- Cheers, Ralph.
