No, it's not enough. "Doesn't work" is not an adequate description. One last time, and then I'm giving up on you: Describe, in as much detail as possible, what happens (or does not) to you when you are using the shell interactively. Provide an example, such as: I have a directory containing these seven files: (... list them ...) When I type ls followed by a space and then press TAB, zsh just beeps at me. This happens even if I press TAB repeatedly. I expected to see a listing of the seven files. Ideally, you will also have run the "complete-debug" widget by typing control+x question-mark INSTEAD OF a TAB at some time when you are having trouble with completion. This widget writes a file with a long trace of everything the completion system is doing. If that file is empty, or if you get some different kind of error when you press the two keys control+x followed by a question mark (NOT control with question mark), then tell us what that error is as well.
