This question concerns compilation of Python from sources. Specifically Python 2.3.6.
On Kubuntu 7.04, ./configure outputs these lines about readline: checking for rl_pre_input_hook in -lreadline... yes checking for rl_completion_matches in -lreadline... yes On openSuSE 10.3, ./configure outputs these lines about readline: checking for rl_pre_input_hook in -lreadline... no checking for rl_completion_matches in -lreadline... no And, of course, line editing in Python shell is possible on Kubuntu and impossible on openSuSE. I do have libreadline5 and readline-devel RPM installed on openSuSE. What else might I need to have readline support? -- Milos Prudek -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
