That message is from a native Windows port of bc, installed under/by Mingw/64, Msys/2, Chocolatey or some other native Windows port installer that does not handle library dependencies. You would have to install that environment's readline library using their setup program. If you have installed Cygwin, you must start it using (perhaps some minor variation of) the provided shortcuts, command files, or scripts, and ensure the Cygwin path is set with Cygwin /usr/bin/ near the start, possibly preceded by your own local script directory/-ies: e.g. $HOME/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin -- Take care.
