I am trying to install RLWrap into my mac os x (Snow Leopard), I have XCode and am able to run the ./configure command sucessfuly, however when I try the make command I get the following error:

make all-recursive Making all in doc make[2]: Nothing to be done for `all'. Making all in src gcc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I..
-DDATADIR=\"/usr/local/share\" -g -O2 -MT main.o -MD -MP -MF .deps/main.Tpo -c -o main.o main.c main.c: In function ‘read_options_and_command_name’: main.c:775: error: ‘rl_basic_quote_characters’ undeclared (first use in this function) main.c:775: error: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once main.c:775: error: for each function it appears in.) make[2]: * [main.o] Error 1 make[1]: [all-recursive] Error 1 make: ** [all] Error 2

Anyone have any ideas of the cause of this?

  • The code looks broken. Where is it from? – trojanfoe Feb 26 '13 at 15:58
  • It's literally just the RLWrap installer, several guides online state that once the ./configure is complete (It is) run 'make' and 'make install', this is what happens after running the first make. – Matt C Feb 26 '13 at 16:56

It looks as though there's a bogus libreadline on OS X:

oldhost:rlwrap-0.37 boxcat$ ls -l /usr/lib/libreadline.dylib 
lrwxr-xr-x  1 root  wheel  15 16 Mar 14:25 /usr/lib/libreadline.dylib -> libedit.3.dylib
oldhost:rlwrap-0.37 boxcat$

I think you'll need a genuine libreadline (i.e. the GNU version) installed first.
