This is probably the most FAQ of all FAQs. One needs readline support at
compile time.
At the end of 'configure', octave shows a helpful summary (this one came
from when I built the Debian package of 2.1.52):
Octave is now configured for i386-pc-linux-gnu
Source directory: .
Installation prefix: /usr
C compiler: /usr/bin/gcc -mieee-fp -Wall -W -Wshadow -g -O2
C++ compiler: /usr/bin/g++ -mieee-fp -Wall -W -Wshadow -g -O2
Fortran compiler: /usr/bin/g77 -O
Fortran libraries: -L/usr/lib/gcc-lib/i486-linux/3.3.2
-L/usr/lib/gcc-lib/i486-linux/3.3.2/../../.. -lfrtbegin -lg2c -lm -lgcc_s
BLAS libraries: /usr/lib/liblapack2.so /usr/lib/libblas2.so
FFTW libraries: -lfftw
HDF5 libraries:
MPI libraries:
LIBS: -lreadline -lncurses -ldl -lm
Default pager: less
gnuplot: gnuplot
Do internal array bounds checking: false
Build static libraries: false
Build shared libraries: true
Dynamic Linking: true (dlopen)
Include support for GNU readline: true
Unless it shows '-lreadline' under LIBS and 'support for GNU readline', you
probably won't get command-line history support.
