Hi Bill - I’ve started encountering the libreadline dependency when building wsjtx-x on OS X since a couple of days ago when I updated my macports installation. The wsjt-x build wants to see readline 6 whereas the latest macports installs readline 7. On the other hand, the gnu octave version installed by macports has a dependence on readline 7. So I am switching between the two when going back and forth between building wsjt-x and examining results in octave. Steve
