- <title>Installation of Readline</title>
-
- <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>

- <title>The meaning of the configure option:</title>
-
- <varlistentry>
- <term><parameter>--with-curses"</parameter></term>
- <listitem>
- <para>This option tells Readline that it can find the termcap
- library functions in the curses library, rather than a separate
- termcap library. It allows generating a correct
- <filename>readline.pc</filename> file.</para>
