Hi, rlwrap is failing "rlwrap: error: Could not open master pty: Input/output error" on FreeBSD 6.1.
Upon investigation, I see that the configure script is hardcoding the list of PTYs to scan based upon those found in /dev/ at time of compilation. This obviously does not work well with devfs. Since FreeBSD now has openpty(), the fix is to NOT put "ptyttylib_cv_ptys=BSD" into CONFIGURE_ENV. I can confirm that an rlwrap() built in this way appears to work for FreeBSD 6.1/amd64 (I can "rlwrap tclsh8.4" and get history and the like; no extensive tests have been performed). I don't know which release made devfs the standard, but I suspect that you're looking at another ".if ${OSVERSION}" check. :^( Thanks, -- VISTA: Viruses, Infections, Spyware, Trojans & Adware _______________________________________________ freebsd-ports@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-ports To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
