I'm quit new to linux and I tryied installing readline library apartly. It executed without errors, But it didn't help to this. What will be the wrong. Must the readline libray be installed in a specific location? or else?

What system do you have? Did you install readline by compiling it yourself or did you use the `apt-get` repositories like this: `sudo apt-get install libreadline6 libreadline6-dev`? – weletonne Aug 20 '15 at 11:06

Thanks for trying to help. System means? It's in redhat linux on a virtual machine. No, not from repositories. Manually. – PrazSam Aug 20 '15 at 17:06

Then try again to install `readline` with `yum install readline-devel`. Then try installing `rlwrap` again. – weletonne Aug 20 '15 at 17:27

Thanks for the help. I installed it correctly. Problem was in the installation of Oracle. I corrected it. – PrazSam Aug 21 '15 at 03:49

It would be nice to have an answer for linking a from-source installation of readline lib to a from-source installation of rlwrap. I did set LD_LIBRARY_PATH to no avail – Gergely Nov 27 '19 at 13:36
