[sage-support] Re: readline? problem
Hello John, if a recompilation does not work (or take too long), you could try to disable colors: set colors NoColor instead of colors Linux in ~/.sage/ipython/ipythonrc Whenever I encountered this completion bug, disabling of colors made it go away. Most of the time, the bug came with a precompiled binary and vanished with a self-compiled version. For the records: I am using Ubuntu. A libreadline-dev was probably always present, because I was compiling pari/gp.

If I type sage: squTAB then it partially completes to sage: squarefree_ Then it lists the options (squarefree_divisors squarefree_part) and puts the cursor in the wrong place: the cursor ends up on the s in squarefree_. If I then type d then TAB, it completes divisors and leaves the cursor at the end of that word. This seems to only happen when there are several possible completions: if I type squarefree_dTAB, it completes and leaves the cursor in the right place. By the way, I should say: this is not a new problem. I've been seeing this for several versions of Sage -- I forget when it first started.

Is some terminal setting messed up? The same thing happens whether I run xterm or the default gnome-terminal. On the other hand, if I remote log in to the machine, then I don't see this: the cursor ends up where it is supposed to when I TAB complete things. (For example, I'm sitting at this ubuntu box right now. I can ssh to another machine, and then from there ssh back to this one, and I don't see the tab problem. This doesn't seem like the ideal solution, however.) I have experienced a similar problem before on an Ubuntu box. Sage is bundled with readline 5.x so I thought that it couldn't be a problem with readline. However, there is a distinction between the readline library and the development library of readline, which is something like readline5-dev. So I used synaptic to also install the development library of readline 5.x. Then I compiled Sage again. The newly compiled Sage then doesn't have such problems any more. Just my 2-cent. -- Regards Minh Van Nguyen --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ To post to this group, send email to sage-support@googlegroups.com To unsubscribe from this group, send email to sage-support-unsubscr...@googlegroups.com For more options, visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/sage-support URLs: http://www.sagemath.org -~--~~~~--~~--~--~---
