[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #34667] Doc command can't find info files

[Alexander Klein]

Follow-up Comment #9, bug #34667 (project octave):

As for the libreadline, this has been a constand problem for years, because
OSX comes with something that is called libreadline, but in fact isn't
libreadline.

In order to make it work you have to download the real GNU readline, but
configure it to be installed someplace else, for example 

./configure --prefix=/usr/local/alternate

This ensures you have it available while not conflicting with the system
library, because it's in a path that won't usually be searched by dyld.

When configuring Octave you have to tell Octave's ./configure where to find
it:

export CPPFLAGS=-I/usr/local/alternate/include/
export LDFLAGS=-L/usr/local/alternate/lib/

This has always worked for me.
