It works in terminal after install the *dev* package of libreadline. Thanks!
The problems may be valuable for other people, so I record it here. The first method, run it on startup: $ ./factor -run=readline-listener no-such-symbol name "rl_completion_entry_function" library "readline" (U) Quotation: [ c-to-factor -> ] Word: c-to-factor (U) Quotation: [ [ catchstack* push ] dip call -> catchstack* pop* ] (O) Word: command-line-startup (O) Word: readline-listener (O) Word: set-rl_completion_entry_function (O) Word: address-of (O) Word: no-such-symbol (O) Method: M\ object throw (U) Quotation: [ OBJ-CURRENT-THREAD special-object error-thread set-global current-continuation -> error-continuation set-global [ original-error set-global ] [ rethrow ] bi ] The second method, start it after launch: $ ./factor -run=listener IN: scratchpad USE: readline-listener Loading resource:extra/readline-listener/readline-listener.factor Loading resource:extra/readline/readline.factor Loading resource:extra/readline/ffi/ffi.factor Loading resource:extra/readline/readline-docs.factor Loading resource:extra/readline-listener/readline-listener-docs.factor IN: scratchpad readline-listener no-such-symbol name "rl_completion_entry_function" library "readline" Type :help for debugging help. Both fails. libreadline won't work in FUEL according to my understanding because the communication medium between Factor and Emacs is a socket not a pty. I gave it a try and the same things(no-such-symbol) happened in "*fuel listener*" buffer. The distribution and packages installed on my computer related to readline are: $ cat /etc/issue Ubuntu 12.04.2 LTS \n \l $ dpkg --get-selections | grep readline libreadline6 install readline-common install After I install the *dev* package of libreadline: $ sudo apt-get install libreadline6-dev Both methods work in both terminal and *term* in Emacs. Great! Finally: * Is it worth to add one more line "-run=listener" in the output of "$ factor --help"? * Most completion functionality in Emacs prefer reinvent the wheel to use libreadline, for some good reasons and some limitation. Many(if not all) of them just ignore libreadline. I think it is also true for FUEL. For curious, I also try the second method after install "libreadline6-dev" in "*fuel listener*" buffer and it hangs... Maybe it is worth to mention(in some place of documentation) that "don't use readline-listener in FUEL, at least it won't work"? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Android is increasing in popularity, but the open development platform that developers love is also attractive to malware creators.
