I couldn't get the rc-1.5b2 distribution to do that under the same version of Linux you say you're using. It claims it can't find -lreadline. (It's there in /usr/lib/readline.* dammit!) Hacking it into config.h and Makefile by hand seems to work. > ; ldd rc > libtermcap.so.2 => /lib/libtermcap.so.2.0.8 > libreadline.so.2 => /usr/lib/libreadline.so.2.0 > libc.so.5 => /lib/libc.so.5.3.12 > > ...and it all seems to work ok.

Well lets see, for starters it hangs doing a "make trip" which is the basic symptom I remember for the shared libraries. My recollection was that this was usually associated with waiting for a prompt from a subshell, or something like that. Hmmm, this actually looks a bit different, maybe something else is interfering... I'll get back to you on this... Tom
