Hello Simon. This error results from an plain "ghci" command.

Ok. Then i would need 2 versions of readline and 2 versions of libc on my
system... i'm afraid it's too complex for me to achieve this.

So i will uninstall readline 5, read the bootstrapping section of the
"building from source" document and try to compile GHC myself.

Thanks for your help,
