Re: [Gcl-devel] Recent readline patch

[Camm Maguire]

Greetings!  This is in, thanks!

BTW, just confirmed that with the latest checkins, gcl builds on
FreeBSD out of the box.  There may not be time for Open and Net before
release, but if anyone wants to try starting with Free, it should be
close.  If you can provide temporary access to a box, I might be able
to help too.

Take care,
