This is indeed the faster way of adding readline support at this time. > #3 Make a case for readline to be installed in a non /usr/lib location > (/usr/sfw/lib?). Good to work around the GPL induced considerations > around placing libreadline in /usr/lib. As I mentioned on sfwnv-discuss, no new components should be introduced into /usr/sfw. Since readline is a GNU component, however, /usr/gnu/lib is a possible location for this library. You should check with Dermot McCluskey though as he's the one currently working on integrating this library. dsc
