Thread: Postgres 7.0.X and arrow keys

Morning.
I installed new Mandrake 7.2 and was eager to try new postgres. So I
installed it and used pgsql. What surprised me was that the arrow keys
wouldn't work anymore as history, instead I get those ascii codes.

I was wondering is it the matter of configuration or is it a new feature
that one has to live with?

Btw, sorry to post it here, but I'm too lazy to order a new list just for
this question. 

Greetings,Antti

You need to install the readline-devel RPM.
