[Bug-readline] Re: problem installing ppsp on Intel Mac

[John Darrington]

[ Cross posting to address@hidden and address@hidden ]

This was reported as a bug to address@hidden some weeks ago.  However,
the readline maintainer said that there was a reason for this:
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-readline/2009-06/msg00000.html

I must admit, I didn't quite follow the logic. Perhaps somebody more
familiar with readline could explain how to resolve this.

     I agree that this is a strange error.  It looks like libreadline
     is exporting symbols that it shouldn't.
     
     One possible solution, although you would lose a small amount of
     functionality, would be to disable the readline library, by
     configuring with --without-libreadline-prefix.
