<para>Create temporary symbolic links so the package can find
the readline library and confirm that its required libncurses
library is available. Even though the libraries are in /tools/lib
at this point, the system will use /usr/lib at the end of
this chapter.</para>

<para>To test bc, run the commands below. There is quite a bit of output,
so you may want to redirect it to a file. There are a very small percentage
of tests (10 of 12,144) that will indicate a round off error at the last
digit.</para>
