Re : cannot compile readline back in updated version of gp

 
If you're only getting stuck on the installation, would you test the 
generated gp file? 

You can start the old gp file (if you had previously installed it) 
with the command 
gp 
but if you instead type 
./gp 
from the directory where you made the new file you should get what you 
just produced.  If this works properly then you just have a TeX 
problem; if not, there's something wrong with the gp compilation or 
with readline.
