The Readline library provides a set of functions for use by applications that allow users to edit command lines as they are typed in. Both Emacs and vi editing modes are available. The Readline library includes additional functions to maintain a list of previously-entered command lines, to recall and perhaps reedit those lines, and perform csh-like history expansion on previous commands.

Readline 5.2 'dynamic' versus 'dynamiclib' flag for Mac OS.

Dear Chet, I'm a clueless Mac user, so I apologize if this comment is inappropriate or misdirected. The "configure" file references "support/shobj_conf" which has line 170 SHOBJ_LDFLAGS='dynamic' It seems that darwin9 (OS 10.5) requires instead SHOBJ_LDFLAGS='dynamiclib' I understand how to fix this by hand, but is it possible to modify the configuration script to do this? automatically when it's needed? Thank you for your help on this in particular, and for offering such a useful piece of software in general.
