Yes, it does!
It did warn me about no readline support:
$ racket
Welcome to Racket v6.12.
; Warning: no readline support (ffi-lib: couldn't open "libedit.so.3"
(libedit.so.3: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory))
>
So I installed libedit, but the warning stays and I have still no
readline support.
Maybe I have to do add it to my LD_LIBRARY_PATH or something. Instead,
I went looking for libedit.so.3, but it wasn't in ~/.guix-profile/lib/.
When I started racket from that working directory, the warning wasn't
given and I had readline support. According to my experience binaries
indeed look in the working directory for libraries. Apparently racket
finds the useful library in ~/.guix-profile/lib/. But what file is it,
and why does it not need to be "libedit.so.3"?
