cd readline-6.2
MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET=10.8 ARCHFLAGS="-arch x86_64" \
./configure --prefix=/usr/local --enable-shared
# regardign error about -dynamiclib: seehttp://www.iamseree.com/application-development/readline-6-2-make-error-in-mac-os-x-lion
cd shlib
sed -e 's/-dynamic/-dynamiclib/' Makefile > Makefile.osx
