Hmmm, not sure. I usually don't use efricas (emacs drives me crazy). Maybe it is better to use something like )lisp (load "quicklisp/setup.lisp") > Also, the history mechanism in FriCAS in a console seems a bit odd: sometimes > (well, often), a previous command, obtained using the arrow keys, will have > extra > characters, or chanrecters missing (I'm using Konsole: the KDE console, with > my > term=xterm.) > I suffer with the same sort of problem: backspace and inserting corrections usually does not work. Axiom (and FriCAS by default) uses an ancient program called 'clef' instead of the now much more common 'readline'. It is possible in principle to turn off clef when starting FriCAS, e.g. $ fricas -noclef but then you have no history mechanism unless SBCL itself was compiled with the option to include readline. I don't usually bother to try to make this work. Maybe Waldek can say more about when and how this works.
