I was updating some programs on my mac and I suddenly encountered some troubles running gnuplot. The error was something like :

dyld: Library not loaded: /usr/local/opt/readline/lib/libreadline.7.dylib

Referenced from: .../something/...

Reason: image not found

Trace/BPT trap: 5

That's not my own error (I copy paste this one, which is very close, from the internet) because since then I uninstall gnuplot and I can't install it anymore.

When I run brew install gnuplot, I get :

In the install file of gnuplot when I downloaded it from sourceForge I can read :

Readline issues:



As I understand the situation, Apple ships OSX with a "fake" libreadline shared

library. The file /usr/lib/libreadline.dylib is really a symlink to a compatibility

layer over the BSD libedit library. But the compatibility isn't complete, and in

particular it is missing some routines used for readline support by gnuplot. The

./configure script should be able to cope with this. But you will still be left

without some of the functionality of the "real" libreadline. For one thing,

libedit doesn't handle UTF-8 input.



You have several options:



1) Delete the fake libreadline libraries from OSX and install the real gnu

libreadline as a system library.



2) Install the real gnu libreadline into your personal account and tell gnuplot

to use it: ./configure --with-readline=/my/private/readline/installdir

This may require some playing around with additional -L and -I definitions in

CFLAGS, and is probably harder than replacing the system copy of the library.



3) Use gnuplot's built-in readline routines.  These now support UTF-8 input and

tab-completion of file names. ./configure --with-readline=builtin

Do you know How I could do something like the second option with brew ?

Thanks a lot

Edit :

I already try : brew switch readline 8.0.0 and brew install gnuplot --with-readline=/usr/local/Cellar/readline/8.0.0/lib but it doesn't work...
