Sorry, I got lost here. What exactly is the problem? I just built rc-1.5b2 (now available from the usual FTP site, thanks Chris!) dynamically linked with readline... ; ldd rc libtermcap.so.2 => /lib/libtermcap.so.2.0.8 libreadline.so.2 => /usr/lib/libreadline.so.2.0 libc.so.5 => /lib/libc.so.5.3.12 ...and it all seems to work ok. Specifically, INTs and QUITs work as I expect. Can you let me know what to look for so I can fix it? > BTW - does anyone know why on DEC Alpha OSF1, using the libreadline > from the freeware CD, it dumps core when I hit ^R? Erp. Sorry, I don't have any Alphas handy. I suspect a readline bug, but if anyone can pin this down to rc I'll try to fix it... Tim.
