It would be handy to know Norm's Ubuntu's version: `lsb_release -a'.

I think this second hunch is most likely, with bits of an old nmh
kicking around and found by $PATH, perhaps even from an earlier Ubuntu
that had libreadline6 rather than a later version.  So Norm should check
which comp(1) is being run when he gets the `libreadline.so.6: cannot
open' error, e.g. `type comp'.
