+
+ <para>Reinstalling Readline will cause the old libraries to be moved to
+ &lt;libraryname&gt;.old. While this is normally not a problem, in some cases
+ it can trigger a linking bug in <command>ldconfig</command>. This can be
+ avoided by issuing the following two seds:</para>
+
+<screen><userinput remap="pre">sed -i '/MV.*old/d' Makefile.in
+sed -i '/{OLDSUFF}/c:' support/shlib-install</userinput></screen>

+ <listitem>
+ <para>This option tells Readline that it can find the termcap
