It looks as if the installed libreadline
does not provide function history_list().
I will try to add a check for this to the
configure script.


There are options for ./configure by which one
can disable libreadline and some other extra
dependencies:
    --disable-libreadline
    --disable-zlib     avoid use of zlib functions like compress2()
    --disable-libacl   avoid use of ACL functions like acl_to_text()
    --disable-xattr    avoid use of xattr functions like listxattr()

They all get disabled automatically by configure
tests if the facility is missing at all.
But here we have a case were it is missing
only in part.
The ACL and xattr stuff is currently Linux-only.
One would probably need a system adapter layer
to make this available on other OSes.

Many thanks for giving xorriso a test.


Have a nice day :)
