Subject: Readline doesn't work no matter what I do

I've spent hours reading the related threads at the ruby-talk archive and
trying all the suggestions, and still can't get Readline work under irb.

I just installed Ruby 1.8.2 on Mac OS X 10.3.7.  During irb session, when I
arrow-up to get the previously executed command, as you would on your Unix
shell, I get the following:

irb(main):001:0> 3 + 4
=> 7
irb(main):002:0> ^[[A       <= when I arrow-up

Is there a way to configure irb so that I get the following:

irb(main):001:0> 3 + 4
=> 7
irb(main):002:0> 3 + 4      <= when I arrow-up

I've installed Readline 5.0 and made a proper symlink (thanks to Thomas for
the suggestion), and I'm still having the same problem!!!

I would highly appreciate it if anyone could let me know what needs to be
done.

Thank you.
