description:
if readline/history program is compiled like so:
gcc prog.c -lhistory -lreadline
the program seg faults when attempting to recover
a string stored in the history. Program:
#include <readline/readline.h>
#include <readline/history.h>
int main()
{
add_history("whoa");
(void) readline("enter: "); #user enters up-arrow here
return 0;
}
fix: reverse order of libraries:
gcc prog.c -lreadline -lhistory
comment: order of libraries should not matter since readline and
history are closely coupled.
