There are only two things I can think of. The first one is the UCB-lib 
problem on Solaris mentioned in Etc/MACHINES. The other one is that
you tried `cd <TAB>' in a directory without sub-directories -- but I'm 
sure you have taken care of that...

Hm. Dunno.

can't get cd completion to work on solaris 2.6

Greetings to everyone on the list...

I have a problem which has been buffling me for quite a 
while. Basically I cannot get the following simple 
completion to work:

compctl -g '*(-/)' cd

I have gotten most of other completions to work as 
described on the manpages and tutorials. But this
one simply refuses to work. When I hit "cd <tab>",
it just generates a beep and nothing happens. This 
is on Solaris 2.6 for both Sparc and x86. BTW, I 
don't have this problem in Linux.

So is this a bug or what else can I do to figure out
what is wrong?

Thanks much.
