Great! But actually, perhaps a second alteration should be put in... First, a question: So far I assumed that readline 6.x released are supposed to be backwards compatible in the following sense: If a binary was linked against a readline 6.x shared library, then one may later upgrade that shared library to readline 6.y for y > x and the program will still run. Or, said simple: A program linked against readline 6.2 should still work with readline 6.3, without a need for recompilation. Is that correct? If no, I did it wrong all the time and it's good I finally learned! But if yes, then the currently used install_name used on Mac OS X is bad: It uses the full library name libreadline.6.2.dylib, but really should be using libreadline.6.dylib. I have a patch ready to fix that, if it is appropriate. Cheers, Max
