The following source package is going to be installed:
octave
0 new packages to install.
Overall download size: 11.5 MiB. After the operation, additional 11.5 MiB
will be used.
Continue? [y/n/?] (y): y
But nothing happened, so I've built it with: ./configure --disable-readline
Now it seems that it's working quite nice, but I have a minor malfunction
when I'm trying to browse old commands with up and down arrows, the
following output is obtained:
octave:2> ^[[A^[[B^[[A^[[B^C
I guess the reason of this trouble is related with the readline library, but
I have no idea.
Do you have any suggestion how to get this malfunction corrected.?
Thanks in advance.
