I can't get it to run.  First, it wouldn't install because:

error: Failed dependencies:
        libreadline.so.4 is needed by gnubg-0.15-4.i686

I made a link from libreadline.so.5 to libreadline.so.4, but it
still wouldn't install.  Next, I tried --nodeps.  It installed,
but it won't run:

$ /usr/bin/gnubg -w
