Hi,

I'm writing a simple CLI-interpreter and to simplify line editing, I want to use the 'editline' library which seems to provide basic editor functionality. The manpage (man editline) says 'Programs should be linked with -ledit -ltermcap.' Doing so, cc says '/usr/bin/ld: can't locate file for: -ledit'. WTF? Also google.com doesn't help me, so can you?

Thanks,
Daniel

Never heard of 'editline'. Perhaps
http://www.gnu.org/directory/readline.html

will work for you.

Note that since readline is GPL anything you build with it has to be released under the terms of the GPL.

Of course. I'm just a hobby programmer, so if I ever care about licensing and other legal stuff it would be under GPL. Thanks anyway.
