rlwrap build failure - can't find readline

[mwolff@…]

+rlwrap produces a message telling me I need GNU readline. Dependencies aren't fetched, so you have to install rlwrap separately and first. Then everything works. Should port fetch and install readline, then do rlwrap, then clojure?

$ sudo port -d install clojure +rlwrap

Please remember to fill in the Port field and cc the maintainer.

Your output shows that rlwrap is in fact being installed automatically when you ask to install clojure +rlwrap. It also shows that readline is installed at the point where the failure occurs (Found Dependency: receipt exists for readline), but rlwrap's configure script can't find it for some reason. The config.log for rlwrap would have more information.

[jmroot (Joshua Root)]

Probably mismatched archs or something. Both base and rlwrap have been updated in the meantime. Reopen if the problem is still reproducible and more information (e.g. the config.log) can be supplied.
