Hi David, I had a look in scheme-sandbox.ly. I quote the entire file: %%%% file begin \version "2.16.0" #(load-user-init) % This loads the user's .guile file for interactive sessions. % One typical thing you might want to put there is % (use-modules (ice-9 readline)) % (activate-readline) % in order to activate command line editing for interactive sessions. % You need libreadline support and the respective Guile module to be % installed for that. In Debian, for example, this is part of the % guile-1.8-libs package. Depending on your system and version, the % requirements may be different. #(newline) #(scm-style-repl) %%%% file end So silly question: do you have the guile-1.8-libs package? Cheers, Harm _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
