Did you ./configure after the upgrade? If not, do so. Readline is one of those contentious issues because it’s licensed under the full-strength GPL, rather than the LGPL. GPL partisans will tell you that the widespread dependence on Readline has forced software to GPL or LGPL where that otherwise wouldn’t have happened, so that’s a Good Thing™ in their book. The other side of the coin is that all this did was force the creation of libedit, which the BSDs have all adopted, and which is spreading around the world now to counter the taint of Readline. :) http://thrysoee.dk/editline/ SQLite (and Fossil) supports both, and will use the first one it finds, preferring Readline if both are installed. This is why reconfiguring can help. If a prior configure found Readline but it’s gone now, reconfiguring may find libedit instead. _______________________________________________ sqlite-users mailing list sqlite-users@mailinglists.sqlite.org http://mailinglists.sqlite.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/sqlite-users
