Please excuse this infantile question.

Since I got 1.8, I have been unable to start irb. I get the message

dyld: ruby can't open library: /supp/lib/libreadline.4.3.dylib (No
such file or directory, errno = 2)
Trace/BPT trap

What have I trashed and what is the easiest way to untrash it?

I think folks here will need to know the platform you're running on
and how Ruby came to be installed (before and after the problem).

I see you're posting with Apple Mail.

libreadline is not part of Ruby (I run without it on Windows).

What have I trashed and what is the easiest way to untrash it?

A trivial answer is all I can offer -- find a version of libreadline
for your O/S and install it -OR- try invoking irb with the --noreadline
command line option.

Or you can put this in your .irbrc:

def dump_history(file=nil)
if file
File.open(file, "w") do |f|
f.puts IRB::ReadlineInputMethod::HISTORY.to_a
end
else
puts IRB::ReadlineInputMethod::HISTORY.to_a
end
end
