Hi Mark,


you're a legend!


I had a look within /usr/lib and sure there were 3x libreadline* files 
in there.


Now I don't know if this is a permanent solution and if all old 
libraries etc... have gone *but a very nice rm /usr/lib/libreadline* 
followed by building the ports worked.


I remember there was an IDS approach to cross-compare old vs new files 
and what's changed. I'm not sure if that still applies....


Some of these jails might have been built during the 8.x era lol and 
using the source "make buildworld DESTDIR=D" in /usr/src


Anyway, it's a fix for now :-)
