## Step: Workaround for libreadline / libxml2 on OSX 10.11 (El Capitan)

Symptoms:
* Running `./configure`,
* You see output
`configure: error: readline library not found`, and
* in `config.log` you see
`ld: file not found: /usr/lib/system/libsystem_symptoms.dylib for architecture x86_64`

There is an issue with Xcode 8.1 on El Capitan. Here's a workaround:

```
brew install libxml2
brew link libxml2 --force
```

Other workarounds may include downgrading to Xcode 7.3, or installing the CLT
package from Xcode 7.3.

## Step: verify that you can ssh to your machine name without a password
```
ssh <hostname of your machine> # e.g., ssh briarwood
