Must have missed --with-installed-readline option. I tend to hit keys randomly as a result of a neck injury. I have found on numerous occasions my pinky hitting the enter key while I'm still typing the command. I had caught most of my missing options as I went, but obviously missed that one.
My response to ldd /bin/bash now looks more like yours although different order and I seem to have one extra one: libhistory.so.5 => /lib/libhistory.so.5 (oxb7f81000). Cursor seems to be acting the way it should now. -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
