Install rlwrap on a Mac, OS X 10.7.3
There are several projects out there package open source software for OS X. The fink
project is one of them, but I'm not sure how active it is anymore.
Alternatives to fink include MacPorts and Homebrew. With MacPorts installed on my system, I can:
$ sudo port install rlwrap
