[Chicken-users] is the readline egg dead?
I'm a newbie on a x84_64-pc-linux-gnu. $ chicken-install readline -sudo Server error: Error: [Server] no such extension or version "readline" #f Server error: Error: [Server] no such extension or version "readline" #f Error: extension or version not found: "readline" TIA -- Marco Maggi ___ Chicken-users mailing list Chicken-users@nongnu.org https://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/chicken-users

Hi Marco, It seems the readline egg isn't available for CHICKEN 5. You could try [breadline] or [linenoise]? [breadline]: http://wiki.call-cc.org/eggref/5/breadline [linenoise]: http://wiki.call-cc.org/eggref/5/linenoise I don't know about the status on the C4 readline egg, whether a C5 port is planned or whether it's considered obsolete. Hope this helps, K.

Hello Kristian, > I don't know about the status on the C4 readline egg, whether a C5 port is > planned or whether it's considered obsolete. I've contributed to the readline egg before and eventually reached the conclusion that I'm better off developing my own with a different, incompatible API. I've also contacted its author regarding plans with a C5 port and received no reply whatsoever. For this reason I published my version under the name breadline for C5, to show that it's a completely different thing.

Hi all, there is a very easy to use and simple alternative to readline and consorts: rlwrap It's an external package and thas has the advantage to be usable not only with chicken, but with every program without readline support.

There's also (chibi term edit-line) which is a pure R7RS implementation and should work with Chicken. I haven't put it up on snow-fort yet though. -- Alex On Sat, Mar 23, 2019 at 10:17 PM Juergen Lorenz wrote: > Hi all, > there is a very easy to use and simple alternative to readline and > consorts: rlwrap > It's an external package and thas has the advantage to be usable not > only with chicken, but with every program without readline support. > Cheers > Juergen > -- > > Dr. Juergen Lorenz > Gruener Weg 27 > 29471 Gartow > > ___ > Chicken-users mailing list > Chicken-users@nongnu.org > https://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/chicken-users > ___ Chicken-users mailing list Chicken-users@nongnu.org https://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/chicken-users
