| 1 | + Subject: Problems trying to use readline or editline ... | ||

| 9 | + I'm having some trouble with either of the line editing libraries available | ||
| 10 | + to me. If I build Python with libreadline, I get "staircases" in my | ||
| 11 | + interpreter output: | ||
| 12 | + | ||
| 13 | + >>> s = 1 | ||
| 14 | + >>> a = 3 | ||
| 15 | + >>> etc. | ||
| 16 | + | ||
| 17 | + So I figured I'd give Rich Salz's editline a try. It seems to be missing a | ||
| 18 | + couple readline functions. When I link I get: | ||
| 19 | + | ||
| 20 | + myreadline.o: Undefined symbol _rl_insert referenced from text segment | ||
| 21 | + myreadline.o: Undefined symbol _rl_bind_key referenced from text segment | ||
| 22 | + | ||
| 23 | + I'm running on BSD/OS 2.0 with GCC 2.6.3 as the compiler. My configure line | ||
| 24 | + was | ||
| 25 | + | ||
| 26 | + ./configure --with-readline=/home/dolphin/skip/src/editline \ | ||
| 27 | + --with-dl-dld=/home/dolphin/skip/src/dl-dld,/home/dolphin/skip/src/dld | ||
| 28 | + | ||
| 29 | + For editline I tried several things before arriving at something that does | ||
| 30 | + work ... sort of. First I commented out the tab key binding in Python's | ||
| 31 | + Parser/myreadline.c then had to fiddle with editline.c to get tabs to | ||
| 32 | + insert. The diffs below seem to work, but have no notion of tab stops (I | ||
| 33 | + like 4-char tab stops). | ||
| 34 | + | ||
| 35 | + I'd be grateful if anybody had a solution to the readline staircases or a | ||
| 36 | + better solution for making editline work. | ||
