error: aborting due to previous error
Could not compile `rusti`.

To learn more, run the command again with --verbose.

is there something I'm missing?

[murarth]

Yes. You're missing libreadline. On systems with APT installed (Debian, Ubuntu, Mint), it can be installed with the command (as root) apt-get install libreadline6.

[jozic]

unfortunately this didn't help

eplatonov@eplatonov-vb-mint ~/projects/github/rusti (master) $ sudo apt-get install libreadline6

cargo build still fails with same error

[murarth]

Hm. Try libreadline6-dev?

[jozic]

this helped, thanks!
do you think this should be mentioned somewhere in README?

[murarth]

I've just merged a PR to add such a note. Helpful people all around. :D

[jozic]

:) nice!
