[yt-users] readline recognition issue

[Elizabeth Tasker]

If that's difficult for any reason, how about we add a "FAQ" to the 
"Asking for help" section of the yt webpages? I think I've also hit this 
issue before, although I don't think I had readline installed at all, 
which is why I assumed it was all different.

Might be helpful and save people like me repeating the question because 
they only hit it every year or so?
