Hi all,

The "Building LDC from source" instructions include libedit-dev 
as a requirement.  Is this linked into the compiler, or the 
libraries?  I assume the compiler?

Thanks & best wishes,

The LLVM libraries depend on libedit for some of the functionality. LDC 
does not directly provide or use any REPL-style interface.
