You might want to consider using Readline by installing it via:
You might want to consider using GNU readline by installing it via:

* using Homebrew: `brew install readline`
* using Fink: `fink install readline7`
* using MacPorts: `port install readline`

After that you have to compile GAP and tell it where to find your installation of GNU readline
using the following commands.

After that follow the instruction in section 5 about how to use Readline.
For Homebrew, use these commands:

./configure --with-readline=$(brew --prefix)/opt/readline
make

For Fink, use these commands:

./configure CPPFLAGS=-I/sw/include LDFLAGS=-L/sw/lib
make

For MacPorts, use these commands:

./configure CPPFLAGS=-I/opt/local/include LDFLAGS=-L/opt/local/lib
make

For further information on how to use GNU readline, refer to section 5 above.

Now simply follow the Unix installation instructions to compile and start
GAP and then it will run in this Terminal window.
