Building Readline 6.2 on Mavericks

This is not a long post, as the only additional step I have introduced is Step #4 - editing the Makefile

1. cd /usr/local/src
2. tar -zvxf readline-6.2.tar.gz
3. cd readline-6.2
4. vi shlib/Makefile
5. make
6. sudo make install

When you edit the Makefile (Step # 4) make the following change:

Change line #84 from:
SHOBJ_LDFLAGS = -dynamic

To
SHOBJ_LDFLAGS = -dynamiclib
