Well, not to keep this thread going on any more than necessary -- though we do still need to hear from Ronald about what version of readline was used for the Universal MacPython -- but I have a comment. > I would think that most gdb users already know how to cross an > execve, but maybe I'm

[Pythonmac-SIG] readline: where and how installed?

I'm having an issue using IPython that may be related to readline, which I am pursuing on the IPython mailing list. I had my self-built version of readline 5.1 installed in /usr/local/ include, and I patched and reinstalled it, which was one theory for fixing the problem, but no go. I'm just
