** readline.c: error: `rl_pending_input' undeclared
 
6
 
 
7
This occurs if the Readline library detected by Guile's configure
 
8
script is actually the BSD Editline project's supposedly
 
9
Readline-compatible library.  The immediate fix is to uninstall
 
10
Editline and install the real GNU Readline instead.  When you do this,
 
11
please note that it probably won't work to keep Editline in /usr and
 
12
install GNU Readline in /usr/local (or some similar arrangement),
 
13
because the Editline library will then still be picked up at link and
 
14
run time; it's best (subject to other constraints) to remove Editline
 
15
completely.
 
16
 
 
17
For the longer term, please also report this problem to the Editline
 
18
project, to encourage them to fix it in the next release of their
 
19
Readline compatibility library.
