Install note: readline-gpl needs libreadline-dev #66

Closed Bost closed 4 years ago

Bost commented 4 years ago

This temporary workaround-note might be useful until this readline-gpl installation bug gets solved. Please verify that the rash/scribblings/rash.scrbl gets properly generated. I'm a newbie here and I haven't had the time to have a look at the scribble. Thanks.

Thanks!

I think multiple packages on Debian provide a libreadline.so file that the racket readline-gpl package relies on. Eg. looking at https://packages.debian.org/jessie/amd64/libreadline5/filelist has a libreadline.so.5, and also the libreadline6 package in debian has a libreadline.so.6. Though I don't have a Debian system handy to test these.

I think I'll merge this but edit it a bit to just say that you need a libreadline shared library on your system rather than say specifically libreadline-dev.
