Does GCL advertise readline? Here's what I see when I start gcl:
$ gcl
GCL (GNU Common Lisp) 2.6.7 ANSI Sep 7 2005 08:48:20
Source License: LGPL(gcl,gmp), GPL(unexec,bfd)
Binary License: GPL due to GPL'ed components: (READLINE BFD UNEXEC)
etc.
and also inspecting *FEATURES* --
>*features*
(:ANSI-CL :COMMON-LISP :COMPILER :NUMLIB :CLOS-CONDITIONS
:PCL-STRUCTURES :PORTABLE-COMMONLOOPS :PCL :TURBO-CLOSURE-ENV-SIZE
:TURBO-CLOSURE :SDEBUG :DEFPACKAGE :GNU-LD :UNEXEC :BFD
:NATIVE-RELOC :READLINE :TRUNCATE_USE_C :CLX-LITTLE-ENDIAN :BSD
etc.
If GCL says it has readline, does readline work in GCL alone (without Maxima) ?
The GCL mailing list is: http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/gcl-devel
Hope this helps
