<para>Reinstalling Readline will cause the old libraries to be moved to
|
|
<libraryname>.old. While this is normally not a problem, in some cases
|
|
it can trigger a linking bug in <command>ldconfig</command>. This can be
|
|
avoided by issuing the following two seds:</para>
|
|
|

<screen><userinput remap="pre">sed -i '/MV.*old/d' Makefile.in
