Thank the original author here.

I. Yum Mode installation

There is no rlwrap this package in the default Yum repository of the CentOS system and needs to be installed through a third party yum source.

A. Installing a third-party yum Source

# RPM-IVH http://download.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/6/x86_64/epel-release-6-8.noarch.rpm

# RPM--IMPORT/ETC/PKI/RPM-GPG/RPM-GPG-KEY-EPEL-6//import KEY

The default is to create a Epel.repo and Epel-testing.repo two profiles under/etc/yum.repos.d/.

B. Installing Rlwrap and ReadLine

# yum Install rlwrap ReadLine readline-devel

C. Write the command to ~/.BASHRC

Alias sqlplus= "Rlwrap Sqlplus"
Alias rman= "Rlwrap Rman"

II. Source Package Installation

Other Linux distributions if the source does not have rlwrap and readline (such as the SUSE Enterprise Edition default does not have these two packages), to download the two source packages separately compiled installation.

A. Installing the ReadLine

# wget ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/readline/readline-6.2.tar.gz# tar zxvf readline-6.2.tar.gz# cd readline-6.2/#./configure # make# make Install

B. Installing Rlwrap

# wget http://utopia.knoware.nl/~hlub/rlwrap/rlwrap-0.37.tar.gz# tar zxvf rlwrap-0.37.tar.gz# cd rlwrap-0.37/#./ configure# make# make Install
