Are you using rc1.5b2 and readline 2.1? Older versions of readline definitely don't get on with rc... You can get the latest rc from here. ftp://ftp.pipex.net/people/tim/rc-1.5b2.tar.gz I believe this combination mostly works (although personally I use editline). There's a known race condition under Linux which I hope to fix very soon. Please let me know if you can't get it working to your satisfaction. > I like some of the features of rc and would like swap shells > completely but if I have to complile statically just for these > simple features, then the difference in size isnt enough to > motivate me to quit using bash. Which "size" are you trying to economize on? Shells should usually be linked statically anyway (see the recent thread on comp.unix.internals)... for the next release, I'm considering adding `-static' to the link if we're using gcc. Tim.
