AFAIK, there are no "readline" specific options in python 2.x's ./configure options: # pwd /usr/ports/opt/python/Python-2.6.5 # ./configure --help | grep readline -i # I could be wrong... Are you sure you've configured and compile readline correctly and that you've set the appropriate environment variables and paths for C/C++ compilers (eg: GCC) to pick it up ? cheers James -- -- James Mills -- -- "Problems are solved by method" -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
