Troubleshooting tip: MacOS error for 'readline' when importing shutit #328

Closed floer32 closed 5 years ago

Not sure how widespread this issue will be, but I was getting:

Library not loaded: /usr/local/opt/readline/lib/libreadline.7.dylib

when I tried to use shutit. The solution wound up being a simple symlink (readline from brew is now 8 instead of 7.) there are a few ways to solve it but I did this one

ln -s /usr/local/opt/readline/lib/libreadline.8.0.dylib /usr/local/opt/readline/lib/libreadline.7.dylib

☝️ That is the solution.

Closing - just wanted this as docs

linking #226 (well, so the other thing points to here, in case someone stumbles to the other thing instead of this thread)
