    <para>Upstream developers have fixed several issues since the initial
    release of Readline-&readline-version;.  Apply those fixes:</para>

<screen><userinput>patch -Np1 -i ../&readline-fixes-patch;</userinput></screen>

    <para>Prepare Readline for compilation:</para>

<screen><userinput>./configure --prefix=/usr --libdir=/lib</userinput></screen>

    <para>Compile the package:</para>

<screen><userinput>make SHLIB_LIBS=-lncurses</userinput></screen>

    <para>This package does not come with a test suite.</para>

    <para>Install the package:</para>

    <para>Give Readline's dynamic libraries more appropriate permissions:</para>

<screen><userinput>chmod -v 755 /lib/lib{readline,history}.so*</userinput></screen>

    <para>Now move the static libraries to a more appropriate location:</para>

<screen><userinput>mv -v /lib/lib{readline,history}.a /usr/lib</userinput></screen>

    <para>Next, remove the <filename class="extension">.so</filename> files in
    <filename class="directory">/lib</filename> and relink them into <filename
    class="directory">/usr/lib</filename>.</para>

<screen><userinput>rm -v /lib/lib{readline,history}.so
