Hi Camm,
I think the runtime cannot distinguish between libraries because it is the library that
gcl is linked with that is loaded. You can also compile gcl with build dependency
libeditreadline-dev if you remove the RL_READLINE_VERSION check that is introduced with
patch Version_2_6_13pre12. Additionally you could remove "READLINE" from the GPL banner
then (not necessary).
I see that you are also the gcl maintainer, so you can coordinate uploads of maxima and
gcl linked with libedit.
Thanks,
Bastian

Greetings, and thanks for this!
It would be nice to migrate to editreadline. GCL at present constructs
a binary license banner indicating GPL'ed components. How would runtime
gcl distinguish between these two libraries of the same name?
Take care,

However, that is orphaned in Debian, so libeditreadline-dev should
be preferred, which does not compile with your package without any
patch. It links with the BSD-licensed libedit library which is a
readline replacement.
The current version compiles with libeditreadline-dev without any patch.
I do not see the build influenced by it and guess libreadline is still loaded
via gcl.
Can you please comment on this?
