Hi Could someone kindly give me an answer to this: I have installed Python 2.5 on my linux box 2.4.9-e.35enterprise that has readline.so version 4.2. During configure, I got the message checking for readline in -lreadline... no checking for rl_callback_handler_install in -lreadline... no checking for rl_pre_input_hook in -lreadline... no checking for rl_completion_matches in -lreadline... no
So I then updated Modules/Setup to include readline readline: readline.c -L/usr/lib -lreadline -ltermcap. Python got installed correctly as per the logs. I then modified ~/.inputrc with set editing-mode vi Now when I run the interpreter, I am not able to perform "vi" style editing. How come???
