Hi there! I've just downloaded the sourcepackage of the Feb2001 version. I need to change the NUM_INSTS variable in the <prelude.h> file, so I did it before running the ./configure script (in src/unix/ , I'm using SuseLinux 7.1). After running the script and installing with "make install" hugs startet without problems, BUT: there is no commandline history!! When typing the up-arrow, there appear only cryptic characters on the sreen. What is missing? I've attached the outprint of the ./configure script, not seeing where the problem is... thanks sebastian bash-2.04# ./configure creating cache ./config.cache checking for bison... bison -y checking
