How to install Perl with readline support?
Hi everyone,
I have been searching for the answer to the subject line's question
for the last two hours.
None of the answers I've found work. (I.e. the `perl -de 1` REPL
remains without readline support.)
I have already `apt-get install`-ed
libreadline-dev
libterm-readline-gnu-perl
libterm-readline-perl-perl
(...along with their dependencies, of course). I also ran `apt-get
install --reinstall perl`, and `dpkg-reconfigure`'d everything in
sight. All of this got me nothing.
I'm puzzled by how difficult this problem has turned out to be.
Usually, `apt-cache search ...` followed by `apt-get install` takes
care of stuff like this. In the harder cases, the first hit from a
Google search has the answer. What makes this one so difficult? Am I
missing something?
TIA!
