HI,

 I am trying to install EPICS R3.14 on linux-x86
machine.


I'm a little surprised that your Linux distribution doesn't include the readline library. My RedHat 7.2 system has libreadline in /usr/lib/.

You can either obtain the readline library or tell EPICS not to use it by changing
src/libCom/osi/os/Linux/osdReadline.h
from
#define IOCSH_REAL_READLINE
to
#define IOCSH_FAKE_READLINE

I recommend the former course of action. EPICS interaction is a lot more enjoyable with command history and command-line editing.
