Comment #11 on issue 2360 by d...@gnu.org: Scheme sandbox fails to load readline module
http://code.google.com/p/lilypond/issues/detail?id=2360

Advice for verification: the reported problem was that the scheme-sandbox produces a failure while attempting to load the readline library. The nature of the "fix" is to not even try, so by default command line editing will not be available. Instead, the user initialization file for general guile sessions is loaded, and the documentation states how you can activate readline in there.

The underlying problem, namely that the readline library has to be available before it can get loaded, persists, it just has been made "somebody else's problem".

Using the user initialization file is actually the best method to ensure a consistent user experience and place overall preferences like readline.

For our full-size packagings, it might be worth considering to package readline and its guile bindings. That would likely fall in the responsibility of the GUB setup, however.
