Hi Steve,

I am pretty sure only Hamlib has a libreadline dependency and that is optional. If you rebuild Hamlib with your preferred libreadline installed you should be able stick with one version.

Hi Bill -
I’ve started encountering the libreadline dependency when building wsjtx-x on 
OS X since a couple of days ago when I updated my macports installation. The 
wsjt-x build wants to see readline 6 whereas the latest macports installs 
readline 7. On the other hand, the gnu octave version installed by macports has 
a dependence on readline 7. So I am switching between the two when going back 
and forth between building wsjt-x and examining results in octave.

Has anyone installed or rebuilt wsjtx on the new Debian release 9.0,
codename "stretch"?

Stretch dropped some packages that weren't being supported upstream,
apparently including libreadline6 that wsjtx has as a dependency.

libreadline5 is still present in stretch.
Hi Phil,

I don't think WSJT-X itself has a libreadline dependency but Hamlib does I 
believe. If you are using the DEB file from the WSJT-X home page or from the 
SourceForge files area you should note that package is released only as a stop 
gap until our Linux package maintainers get there thing done. It is built for 
the current LTS Ubuntu distribution (16.04 LTS) and s not necessarily expected 
to work on other distributions.

The source package we release should build locally on other Linux distros, have 
you tried that? You may have to install some dependencies of course.

See INSTALL in the archive for installation details.
