Backspace, delete and arrow keys not working in Guile

Backspace, delete and arrow keys not working in Guile

[-- Attachment #1.1: Type: text/plain, Size: 471 bytes --]

Hi,

 

I have installed guile 1.3.4 on RedHat 7.3 using the RPM and install from
the Ximian RedCarpet.

 

Everything works great, except that at the guile command line, when I press
keys such as backspace, delete and the arrow keys I get the following
strings displayed ("^H", "[[3~",etc..),  instead of the desired action.

 

Is there anyway to resolve this?  I have searched the mailing list archive
and the web without any result.

 

Thank you in advance,

Real

I do not have a solution to your problem, but I think you should also
include your locale settings (your LANG and LC_* environment variables),
as this is probably at least a part of the problem. Also your terminal
(xtterm?) configuration might be of interrest, or more precisely, what
character sequences backspace and delete sends (^h, ^H, ^?). I do not say
that problems with this is the cause of your problem, just that such
information would probably help to eliminate some things from the list of
possible causes...

Add this to your ~/.guile:
----------------------------------
(use-modules (ice-9 readline))
(activate-readline)
----------------------------------

Should do the trick.
