Run this in your Terminal:

ln -s /usr/local/opt/readline/lib/libreadline.7.0.dylib /usr/local/opt/readline/lib/libreadline.6.dylib

And then run you rails c again. It should work.

Update on 28 May 2019

If above doesn't work, try this:

ln -s /usr/local/opt/readline/lib/libreadline.8.0.dylib /usr/local/opt/readline/lib/libreadline.7.dylib

Thanks. For me on macOS Catalina 10.15.5 (19F101) this did the trick:

ln -s /usr/local/opt/readline/lib/libreadline.8.0.dylib /usr/local/opt/readline/lib/libreadline.7.dylib
