Re: How to get a useful repl with Chicken 5?

Turns out that for some forsaken reason Ubuntu does neither provide a
`readline.pc` nor uses a reasonable path for headers and libraries.
There are two ways of working around this, one is setting up a
`readline.pc` as described in
<https://www.marache.net/post/readline-pc.html>, the other one is to
pass the flags shown there via `READLINE_CFLAGS` and `READLINE_LDLIBS`
at installation time:

    export READLINE_CFLAGS=-I/usr/include/readline
    export READLINE_LDLIBS=-lreadline
    chicken-install breadline
