You can grab any readline distribution from the usual GNU sources, build it, and install it in a directory under your home directory (DESTDIR). Then you can build bash and configure --with-installed-readline (--with-installed-readline=DIRECTORY). You may find that the readline version you choose is too old to use and won't satisfy the external dependencies of the bash version you're using. -- ``The lyf so short, the craft so long to lerne.'' - Chaucer ``Ars longa, vita brevis'' - Hippocrates Chet Ramey, UTech, CWRU c...@case.edu http://tiswww.cwru.edu/~chet/
