Zsh is not a default package on Ubuntu, apt-get installs 4.3.17 (the zsh-beta package is actually older, only 4.3.12-dev-something). So I decided to build zsh 5.0.0. After installing build-essential, yodl, and some other miscellaneous packages that Ubuntu makes it unnecessarily difficult to discover that you need (Software Center may look like the Apple Store, but it's nowhere near as helpful as Synaptic) I was able to configure and build zsh from the sourceforge repository. However, by chance I noticed that META-FAQ comes out like this: The latest version of this META-FAQ can be found at any of the FTP sites listed below. SECTHEADAuthor Zsh was originally written by Paul Falstad . Zsh is now maintained by the members of the zsh-workers mailing list . The development is currently coordinated by Peter Stephenson . The coordinator can be contacted at , but matters relating to the code should generally go to the mailing list. SECTHEADAvailability Zsh is available from the following anonymous FTP sites. [...] The version of yodl available via apt-get for this distribution is 3.00.0. The newline in the definition of sect() from META-FAQ.yo is being lost for some reason. I just checked my build on MacOS Lion (which is even more of a pain to set up, because Xcode no longer includes any of the GNU toolchain) where yodl is 2.13.2 [*] and actually it comes out the same way there, so this may have been broken for a while. It's correct in the zsh tarball so PWS must have a different version of yodl on his build host (?). [*] This Mac started out Lion with users restored at setup time from TimeMachine of an older SnowLeopard Mac where MacPorts had been installed, then had Xcode installed, then was updated to Mountain Lion and had Xcode installed again, and then had MacPorts reinstalled; so yodl may have come from anywhere. But yodl otherwise works, so I haven't tried re-installing it.
