[Gcl-devel] Re: back arrow and such

[Camm Maguire]

Greetings!  OK, it looks as if you have a very old version of gcl.
Where did you get this from?  It would even appear that it is before
the readline support addition.

Please get the latest cvs and try again.  

export CVS_RSH=ssh
export CVSROOT=:pserver:address@hidden:/cvsroot/gcl
cvs login
(enter)
cvs -z9 co gcl
cd gcl
./configure && make && make install

Thanks for your report!
