Fixed readline issue of irb in maemo ruby for n810

It's very annoying that the irb in maemo does not support the readline feature.

Finally, I resolved this!

Steps:

  1. Install libreadline5 and libreadline5-dev, depends on libncurses5

  2. download ruby source code: ruby_1_8

  3. cd (ruby_src_dir)/ext/readline

  4. ruby extconf.rb

  5. make

  6. sudo make install



Done! Enjoy ruby!
