Cannot build tclreadline-2.1.0 on Mac OS X 10.4

2005-07-14T20:37:28Z

The build makes *.la and *.lo files, instead of the
*.dylib files that Mac OS X requires. Using Apple's
'libtool' by hand to create the shared-libs, and
installing them by hand under /System/Library/Tcl
doesn't help. It finds the tclreadline files, loads
the extension, and prompts for one command, then exits
with an error.

$ tclsh
% package require tclreadline
2.1.0
% set tcl_version
8.4
%
% ::tclreadline::Loop
tclsh8.4 [~/Public/Ruby/tclreadline-2.1.0]set tcl_version
alloc: invalid block: 0x30b188: 72 0 0

Script Completer problems

2003-11-06T15:46:12Z

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
