Re: [Java-readline-users] can't find readline library

[Bob P. <bo...@ci...>]

As it turns out, the problem was not in finding gnureadline; it was in 
finding libjavareadline.

The example code discarded any exception thrown when trying to load the 
library. When I printed out the stack trace instead, I saw which library 
couldn't be loaded. Since I'm using Debian, 'libtermcap' wasn't 
installed by default, which is required by javaReadLine.so. Installing 
the 'libncurses5-dev' package fixed it.

It works find now.
