What else do I need to have installed besides `pkg:/library/readline' in order for the cpan shell to be fully readline enabled. That is, capable of supplying `history' with up/down arrows.
I vaguely remember on other OSs needing term-readline... but I don't see anything like that other than rxvt type term that comes up when I do pkg search readline: ------- --------- ---=--- --------- -------- basename dir usr/demo/readline pkg:/library/readline@5.2-0.151.1 basename dir usr/include/readline pkg:/library/readline@5.2-0.151.1 basename file usr/lib/urxvt/perl/readline pkg:/terminal/urxvt@9.12-0.151.1 description set GNU readline pkg:/library/readline@5.2-0.151.1 pkg.description set GNU readline library (5.2) pkg:/library/readline@5.2-0.151.1 pkg.fmri set openindiana.org/library/readline pkg:/library/readline@5.2-0.151.1 pkg.summary set GNU readline pkg:/library/readline@5.2-0.151.1 ------- --------- ---=--- --------- -------- But installing that didn't help. When I run `cpan' I still see: Terminal does not support AddHistory. Your OS does not support locking; continuing and ignoring all locking issues CPAN: Time::HiRes loaded ok (v1.9711) [...] It may be relevant that I am sshed into the sol box from a `screen' session on a linux box... my $TERM shows `screen'. But I got the same message when $TERM is xterm too. _______________________________________________ OpenIndiana-discuss mailing list OpenIndiana-discuss@openindiana.org http://openindiana.org/mailman/listinfo/openindiana-discuss
