>Description: When starting the mysql client, I could not input any Scandinavian characters, like זרו. Even if these characters are inputable in the bash shell. Readline in a bash shell first reads the /etc/inputrc and then the ~/.inputrc. Thus, most configurations are placed in /etc/inputrc. However, the readline in mysql client does not read the system wide configuration. (Three lines in inputrc are essential for readline to recognize 8 bits characters: set input-meta on set output-meta on set convert-meta off)
>How-To-Repeat: You could play around with "set input-meta..." and so on, but easiest to demonstrate is as follows: touch /etc/inputrc touch ~/.inputrc sleep 60 date ls -lu /etc/inputrc ~/.inputrc and see for yourselves. (Do the same by starting bash.) >Fix: Include the necessary lines in ~/.inputrc. (Solves the symptoms, but is awkward.) >Submitter-Id: <submitter ID> >Originator: Jon Haugsand >Organization: Norges Bank >MySQL support: [none | licence | email support | extended email support ] >Synopsis: /etc/inputrc is not read by readline >Severity: non-critical >Priority: >Category: mysql >Class: >Release: mysql-3.23.38 (Official MySQL RPM) >Environment: System: Linux nbjhh1 2.2.18 #1 Fri Mar 9 11:52:41 CET 2001 i686 unknown Architecture: i686 Some paths: /usr/bin/perl /usr/bin/make /usr/bin/gmake /usr/bin/gcc /usr/bin/cc GCC: Reading specs from /usr/lib/gcc-lib/i486-suse-linux/2.95.2/specs gcc version 2.95.2 19991024 (release) Compilation info: CC='egcs' CFLAGS='-O6 -fno-omit-frame-pointer -mpentium' CXX='egcs' CXXFLAGS='-O6 -fno-omit-frame-pointer -felide-constructors -fno-exceptions -fno-rtti -mpentium' LDFLAGS='' LIBC: lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 13 Mar 8 2001 /lib/libc.so.4 -> libc.so.4.7.6 -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 634880 Apr 29 1996 /lib/libc.so.4.7.6 -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 1382179 Jan 19 2001 /lib/libc.so.6 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 2585872 Jan 19 2001 /usr/lib/libc.a -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 178 Jan 19 2001 /usr/lib/libc.so -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 851660 Jan 19 2001 /usr/lib/libc-client.a lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 19 Mar 8 2001 /usr/lib/libc-client.so -> libc-client.so.2000 -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 714876 Jan 19 2001 /usr/lib/libc-client.so.2000 Configure command: ./configure --disable-shared --with-mysqld-ldflags=-all-static --with-client-ldflags=-all-static --without-berkeley-db --without-innodb --enable-assembler --with-mysqld-user=mysql --with-unix-socket-path=/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock --prefix=/ --with-extra-charsets=complex --exec-prefix=/usr --libexecdir=/usr/sbin --sysconfdir=/etc --datadir=/usr/share --localstatedir=/var/lib/mysql --infodir=/usr/info --includedir=/usr/include --mandir=/usr/man '--with-comment=Official MySQL RPM' --------------------------------------------------------------------- Before posting, please check: http://www.mysql.com/manual.php (the manual) http://lists.mysql.com/ (the list archive) To request this thread, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To unsubscribe, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Trouble unsubscribing?
