On Darwin, yes. |

I finally understand your problem here. It *is* a problem actually. |
| 19 |
Curses is done in the right way, libreadline (maybe because of Darwin in |
| 20 |
the past) is done wrong, IMO. It should be configured to install into |
| 21 |
/lib iso /usr/lib. The problem here is that the Darwin linker wants a |
| 22 |
real file, but doesn't check if it exists, so something linking to |
| 23 |
readline now ends up with a link to usr/lib/libreadline.5.2.dylib, which |
| 24 |
doesn't exist (any more). This is because usr/lib/libreadline.dylib |
| 25 |
simply refers to usr/lib/libreadline.5.2.dylib. (i.e. it is broken!) |

Your point is actually valid, so thanks again. |
