You can enable it by adding the following two lines to your ~/.guile: (use-modules (ice-9 readline)) (activate-readline) See <https://www.gnu.org/software/guile/manual/html_node/Readline.html>. I'm sympathetic to the desire to enable it by default, but I'm not sure how to navigate the license issue, namely that GNU Readline is GPL-licensed, whereas Guile is LGPL-licensed. Regards, Mark
