Actually, what I should have asked is "are you running Lion?". Because with libedit on Lion, tab completion is 100% broken, as per http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-hackers/2011-07/msg01642.php This is just the latest installment in a long and sad story of libedit being mostly not up to snuff on OS X. I can reproduce the behavior you mention on my own Mac, but the fact that it appears to work after the first time is probably just blind luck from happenstance locations of malloc results :-( As for GNU readline, I suspect you weren't actually testing it. Note that the thing called /usr/lib/libreadline.dylib is not GNU readline, it's only a symlink to libedit. regards, tom lane -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list ([email protected]) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
