I have Fedora 31 and Readline does not seem to be working for me in the
raku REPL as well.
But see below!
$ rpm -qa \*raku\*
xfce4-terminal-0.8.9.1-1.fc31.x86_64
Hmm, I don't think that is output from that command. Mine:
$ rpm -qa \*raku\*
rakudo-XML-0.0.3-0.6.20190728git417f637.fc31.x86_64
rakudo-MIME-Base64-1.2.1-6.fc31.x86_64
rakudo-zef-0.8.2-1.fc31.x86_64
rakudo-0.2019.11-3.fc31.x86_64
rakudo-Readline-0.1.5-2.fc31.x86_64
rakudo-URI-0.2.2-1.fc31.x86_64
$ raku -v
This is Rakudo version 2019.07.1 built on MoarVM version 2019.07.1
implementing Perl 6.d.
Looks like you might have your own rakudo installed not from the default
system packages. Mine:
$ which raku
/usr/bin/raku
$ raku -v
This is Rakudo version 2019.11 built on MoarVM version 2019.11
implementing Perl 6.d.
In any case, I also have the problem with raku REPL not using Readline
despite rakudo-Readline-0.1.5-2 being installed.
$ raku
You may want to `zef install Readline` or `zef install Linenoise` or use
rlwrap for a line editor
To exit type 'exit' or '^D'

This seems like a Fedora 31 packaging problem to me.
However, after this:
$ zef install Readline
The arrow keys once again work for me.

Hi Norman,
Readline was it. Joy! Thank you!
