Hello Bill (and Ralph)
I just built FriCAS from git. The problem is still there:
[ko@wiley ~]$ /opt/fricas/bin/fricas -rl
Checking for foreign routines
FRICAS="/opt/fricas/lib/fricas/target/x86_64-x-freebsd12.1"
spad-lib="/opt/fricas/lib/fricas/target/x86_64-x-freebsd12.1/lib/libspad.so"
foreign routines found
openServer result 0

[ko@wiley ~]$ rlwrap --version

Same behavior with -noclef.
Finally,
[ko@wiley ~]$ locale
LANG=en_US.UTF-8
LC_CTYPE="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_COLLATE="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_TIME="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_NUMERIC="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_MONETARY="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_MESSAGES="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_ALL=
How do you actually type the 'α'? I switch my keyboard to Greek layout.
It still seems to me that the cause is something that changed between
1.3.5 and 1.3.6:
[ko@wiley ~]$ fricas
