I've got machines that do that even with vi, because I forced them to upgrade that one thingie (readline?) you need for the arrow keys to work for command history in MySQL/PostgreSQL, which means I had for force a glibc upgrade. Grrrr. I think I'm lucky the damn thing works at all, from what I understand (or don't) of glibc. Anyway, I forget what it's called, but you might have a mis-match in the glibc and that readline software versions... > Also, I'm having some weirdness > with mvwaddstr, I logged a bug on bugs.php.net #31876.

If ncurses is continues to give you trouble, you may want to consider PHP GTK -- There is possibly a larger community of users working on that. Or are you the guy needing to duplicate the green-on-black terminal stuff?... I was gonna say GTK wouldn't do so hot at that, but, actually, it MIGHT be not that hard, now that I think about it. http://gtk.php.net/ PS If anybody knows how I can fix my glibc and readline issue on RedHat 9.x I'd surely welcome some input. I use control-L a lot, but it's not much fun. -- Like Music? http://l-i-e.com/artists.htm -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
