Package auto-suggestion under Debian/Ubuntu ?

Package auto-suggestion under Debian/Ubuntu ?

Hi all,
One small thing I like with Bash is that auto-suggests packages when you try
to use an unknown command, like this:

 $ eclipse

The program 'eclipse' is currently not installed.  You can install it by
> typing:

sudo apt-get install eclipse-platform


In Zsh, I just get:

% eclipse

zsh: command not found: eclipse


Does anyone how to get this working with Zsh ?

Thanks,
Julien Nicoulaud

Ubuntu's global bashrc probably uses the command-not-found program
provided by the command-not-found package. It uses bash's
command_not_found_handle() function. See `/etc/bash.bashrc' for details.

Zsh has a similar facility, which is the command_not_found_handler()
function. See

    % man zshmisc | less -p "COMMAND EXECUTION"

for details.

Regards, Frank

Thanks for the heads up Frank !

Copying the one from /etc/bash.bashrc an adapting the function name works
perfectly (ie http://gist.github.com/506405 for the lazy)

Should work on any Ubuntu since Hardy:

% sudo apt-get install command-not-found
% grep zsh /usr/share/doc/command-not-found/README
To use it in zsh, please add the following line to your .zshrc file:
. /etc/zsh_command_not_found
