It doesn't ship with readline support built in - and the source doesn't ship in a way that builds. To get bc to compile (grabbing source using setup - the simple case): * scan.l -- comment out the proto for readline: _PROTOTYPE(char *readline, (char *)); * configure --with-readline * make --------- At the very least I'd like to see this patch applied to the source (so at least readline support is easy to compile in).
