This came up and was fixed in March, 2014. > Thanks for your help. Both readline from source and the Mageia readline package are working fine with this patch properly applied. I submitted a new Mageia package. That put aside, these patches were not easy to learn about. I believe it would be a better idea to mint a new release of GNU readline (say "6.3.1" or "6.4") instead which will have all the necessary patches applied. Otherwise, I'd expect questions like that to be asked more in the future, and like Joel-on-Software says here, one should "fix every problem two ways": http://www.joelonsoftware.com/articles/customerservice.html Regards, Shlomi Fish -- ----------------------------------------------------------------- Shlomi Fish http://www.shlomifish.org/ http://www.shlomifish.org/humour/bits/New-versions-of-the-GPL/ I’m not an actor — I just play one on T.V.
