Need old version of readline for activator?

I am on a Mac and have run brew install typesafe-activator. Then I tried it out by running activator and got the following message:

dyld: Library not loaded: /usr/local/opt/readline/lib/libreadline.6.dylib Referenced from: /usr/local/bin/bash Reason: image not found Trace/BPT trap: 5

Sure enough, there is no libreadline.6.dylib at that location. I have version 7 instead. I have tried to find a way to install the old version, but no luck so far. In particular, brew doesn't seem to have old versions available. Is there a way around this? Either a way to install the old version of readline or a version of activator that supports the new readline?

I ended up making and installing readline 6.3 from source. Here's the link. Just download readline-6.3.tar.gz, unzip it, navigate to the unzipped folder, and run

./configure
make
make install

Apparently bash needs to be upgraded. 

brew upgrade bash

Source: https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-core/issues/5799

I did the exact same as you, installing gnuplot, which then started causing these errors, which I guess are linked to the brew update that I did at the time and not gnuplot.
