tclreadlineSetup.tcl.in typo in shebang

This patch fixed a typo in the shebang line of tclreadlineSetup.tcl.in

tclreadline does not work w/ readline 6.2

Anonymous — Sun, 10 Feb 2013 19:23:34 -0000

eric@teckel ~ $ /usr/bin/tclsh
% package require tclreadline
couldn't load file "/usr/lib/libtclreadline.so":
/usr/lib/libtclreadline.so: undefined symbol: _rl_executing_macro

This is with readline 6.2_p1 and tclreadline 2.1.0-r1 on Gentoo Linux.

At readline 4.2 we have:
_rl_executing_macro has been renamed to rl_executing_macro, which
means it's now part of the public interface.

so it presumably hasn't worked since then!

unmatched brace/quote in list error

Arunmozhi V — Fri, 28 May 2010 11:11:06 -0000

This error occurs during command completions. For example, type the following to get the error

puts "<tab>

The problem is due to the wrong usage of catch, similar to the bug 754797.

Fix:
In the procedures Llength, Lindex and Lrange, change the following
if {[catch [list ...]]}
to
if {[catch {...}]}

puts -nonewline is ignored

Anonymous — Thu, 06 Nov 2008 15:13:19 -0000

"puts" command output from interactive tcl shell using tclreadline is not visible if "-nonewline option is used. Though output strings are visible when tcl shell is closed.

Example:
tclsh8.4> puts -nonewline "Test string"
tclsh8.4> puts -nonewline "Test string 2"
tclsh8.4> puts -nonewline "Test string 3"
tclsh8.4>
tclsh8.4>
tclsh8.4>
tclsh8.4> exit
Test stringTest string 2Test string 3

compilation problem on 64 bit

Antonio Bonifati — Sun, 11 May 2008 14:28:54 -0000

Building fails under 64 bit, e.g. my system:

Linux nero 2.6.24-ARCH #1 SMP PREEMPT Sun Mar 30 10:50:22 CEST 2008 x86_64 AMD Athlon(tm) 64 Processor 3200+ AuthenticAMD GNU/Linux

See attached log file for details.

I suggest a fix: upgrade config.guess and config.sub. Current versions date to 2000! Get the latest from:

http://savannah.gnu.org/cgi-bin/viewcvs/\checkout*/config/config/config.guess
http://savannah.gnu.org/cgi-bin/viewcvs/\checkout*/config/config/config.sub

Incomplete compilation

Fabien Soulier — Thu, 16 Dec 2004 09:19:49 -0000

When I call ./configure with the option:
--target=i486-slackware-linux
the shared libs are not installed by make && make
install. I only get libtclreadline.la and
libtclreadline.a (no so libs). Same problem when I add
--enable-shared to ./configure.

Without the target option, everything works fine. This
is probably a bug with autoconf/automake.

ScriptCompleter Problems

Anonymous — Thu, 06 Nov 2003 15:32:05 -0000

I wonder if you could help me with a problem. I want to
add some extra commands to the ScriptCompleter. I
know I can do it by using the following command

tclreadline::readline add <command>.

However, I want to be able to add numerous commands
which begin with the same words.
eg.

tclreadline::readline add "delete arm"
tclreadline::readline add "delete leg"

However, if I were to enter these commands, and I
press the tab key, only the first one which I enter will be
displayed (in this case "delete arm"). Does anyone know
of any work arounds to this problem?

Also, there was an issue of the "ls" command being run
when a user presses the tab key numerous times. Is
there a way to turn this off? The only workaround I have
found is to cd into an empty directory.

Thanks

Error with shell command completions and tcl8.4

Philip Quaife — Sun, 15 Jun 2003 08:26:53 -0000

In tclreadlineCompleter.tcl
in proc ScriptCompleter

The command:
if {[catch [list set alias [namespace origin
$alias]]] }{

Causes an error if the command is not a tcl command

EG:
rmdir /usr/lo[tab]

This is caused by namespace origin being evaluated
prior to execution of the catch statement.

The fix:
if {[catch {set alias [namespace origin $alias]} ] }{
