failed to load module: zsh/zle

failed to load module: zsh/zle

[Timothy Grant]

Hi,

I've been through the archives and the installation documents,
but I'm missing something somewhere.

I am building a Linux box from scratch. I currently have a
system that runs quite nicely, and I was able to get it to the
point where I could use it to download zsh.

I downloaded 3.1.9, made it, and upon typing zsh I get the 

zsh: failed to load module: zsh/zle

message.

So, I went back to the drawing board, did make clean, then did
a ./configure --disable-dynamic and tried again thinking that
that for sure would work, well, I get the same error message.

I'm sure this is a because I don't yet having something on my
scratch-built system that zsh needs, but I don't even know
where to begin looking.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

You need to install the dynamically-loadable modules before you can run
zsh from the build directory.

You need "make distclean" before reconfiguring.

I recommend that you use a more recent version -- we're up to 4.0.1-pre-5,
IIRC -- and use the default configuration (with dynamically loadable
modules).  Do "make install.modules" before testing the new binary
("make check").

No, installing modules should not be needed to run 'make check'. If it
fails - it is a bug and must be fixed. We still has unresolved issue that
libzsh is not found (on systems where it is needed).

Thanks for both the responses I got on this. I have been
building a linux box from scratch, and it appears that I had
mangled some libraries along the path which was why zsh was not
loading correctly. I just compiled the most recently available
version and it worked just fine.

Thanks again!
