BUG: readline-5.1 doesn't install a 5.0.dylib required by gnuplot

[mjb@…]

gnuplot fails to run because it tries to load a version of readline that is not present.

Marlowe:~/Documents/Projects/Ion Channels mjb$ gnuplot dyld: Library not loaded: /opt/local/lib/libreadline.5.0.dylib

Referenced from: /opt/local/bin/gnuplot Reason: image not found

Trace/BPT trap

/opt/local/lib had a libreadline.5.1.dylib and libreadline.5.dylib, but not libreadline.5.0.dylib. Since I had a pressing need to use gnuplot, I "solved" the problem by making a symbolic link to libreadline.5.1.dylib named libreadline.5.0.dylib. This seems to work so far, based on (very) limited testing.

A quick check of rlwrap shows the same problem. It's a readline issue, apparently.

You should upgrade gnuplot after upgrading readline. You apparently had readline-5.0 installed when you originally built gnuplot, and you must have upgraded to readline-5.1. That upgrade process removed the older dylib, thus breaking gnuplot. Until the linking process links the proper compatbility version of a dylib, you will need to rebuild dependent applications when upgrading libraries. Use port dependents readline to list all installed ports which depend upon readline. You should remove and rebuild them.

probably fixed in r22947.
