undefined symbol rl_get_screen_size

[Ada Cheng]

Good morning,
        I am having trouble to get octave working with readline (even
though the installation was successful) on my laptop.  The error that I
receive when in octave are:
/usr/libexec/ld-elf.so.1: /usr/local/lib/octave-2.1.50/liboctave.so:
Undefined symbol "rl_get_screen_size"

ldconfig -r shows:
    47:-lreadline.4 => /usr/lib/libreadline.so.4
   324:-lreadline.4 => /usr/local/lib/libreadline.so.4

I have deinstall and reinstall Octave temporarily by disabling readline in
order to get a working Octave.  I will like to know how to fix the problem
above as without readline I cannot access octave_hist.

Many thanks once again in advance.
Ada
