redhat 8 and gnome-terminal problem

[Dennis Haney]

Has anyone else had problems with redhat 8 and gnome-terminal where
the list of completions (after two presses on tab) are never shown?

I tried cutting my setup down to:

autoload -U compinit
zstyle ':completion:*' completer _complete
setopt NO_AUTO_MENU BASH_AUTO_LIST NO_LIST_AMBIGUOUS
setopt LIST_BEEP LIST_TYPES NO_REC_EXACT

but it still happens.

The wierd thing is that it seems that the text is written to screen
(ie newlines because of the output is generated), but no text is
visible. Also if I switch to console mode, there are no problems.

I also tried switching between LANG=da_DK.UTF-8 and LANG=da_DK (which
defaults to ISO8859-1), no luck.

Build problems, solution?

[Charlie Reiman]

I was trying to build zsh-4.0.6 on Solaris 8 on Intel. configure seems to
work fine but make spits this out:

sh: Src: does not exist
*** Error code 1
make: Fatal error: Command failed for target `all'

I've tracked it down to this section in the Makefile:

# default target
all: config.h
        @for subdir in Src Doc; do \
          (cd $$subdir && $(MAKE) $(MAKEDEFS) $@) || exit 1; \
        done

Obviously, my /bin/sh is borked. Since I have bash installed, I came up with
a workaround (I'd love to here of a better one!)

edit the "SHELL = /bin/sh" line in Config/defs.mk to
SHELL = /usr/bin/bash

Go to the toplevel and run "make SHELL=/usr/bin/bash"

Incidentally, the line that breaks can be fixed by doing this:

          (cd ./$$subdir && $(MAKE) $(MAKEDEFS) $@) || exit 1; \

But you'd need to do that for every cd in every makefile.

Yes, but I don't use gnome-terminal so I didn't pursue it.

Which smells like CDPATH problem (i.e. when . is not in CDPATH). May be
another solution would be to globally unset CDPATH or set it to ".", but I
am not sure if it possible to export environment out of makefile portably.

Ah. That was probably it. I knew there was a reason I never set CDPATH in
the past. Looks like I'll be taking that out of my zshenv.

Maybe configure should warn if CDPATH is set and does not contain a '.'?

Never mind. I switched back to debian...
