Hi,
I’m trying to compile Ruby 1.8.5 on Debian Sarge with readline. After
compilation I try irb and I get:
irb(main):001:0> require “readline”
LoadError: no such file to load – readline
from (irb):1:in `require’
from (irb):1
Also I have these readline related packages installed:
$ dpkg -l | grep ^ii | grep readline
ii libreadline-ruby 1.8.2-1 Readline interface for Ruby
ii libreadline-ruby1.6 1.6.8-12sarge2 Readline interface for Ruby
1.6.x
ii libreadline-ruby1.8 1.8.5-3 Readline interface for Ruby
1.8
ii libreadline4 4.3-11 GNU readline and history
libraries, run-time libraries
ii libreadline5 5.2-1 GNU readline and history
libraries, run-time libraries
ii libreadline5-dev 5.2-1 GNU readline and history
libraries, development files
ii readline-common 5.2-1 GNU readline and history
libraries, common files
Why ruby does not compile with readline? Thank you!
