There is a work around to this problem. By downloading and installing http://directory.fsf.org/GNU/readline.html version 5.2 AND including the --without-readline configure directive with the other recommended options I think it should be possible to compile MySQL without the --without-readline option but someone cleverer than me needs to think about this!

Thank you for a problem report. Please, try to repeat with a newr version, 5.0.26, and inform about the results.

I stated the incorrect version in my initial report, I quoted v5.0.24, I was incorrect - see below output of mysqladmin --version mysqladmin Ver 8.41 Distrib 5.0.26, for pc-linux-gnu on i686 This is still a bug IMHO, because I had to specify --without-readline and download the current readline from gnu.

Sorry for a delay with this report. Please, send the results of: mysql --version I want to check how mysql command line client was built.

mysql Ver 14.12 Distrib 5.0.26, for pc-linux-gnu (i686) using readline 5.0

Please, send the exact ./configure command lines (and CFLAGS values) you used when compiling to get a proper mysql binary, and those to create a crashing one. I do not have any problems like you described with readline 5.0.

Description: Using the command line within mysql text gets garbled when the cursor keys are used. I had one instance where mysql crashed taking the shell (bash) with it. I compiled with the recommended configure options. I then tried the --without-readline option to configure but that failed with: configure: error: Could not find system readline or libedit libraries Use --with-readline or --with-libedit to use the bundled versions of libedit or readline Then I tried reconfiguring using --with-libedit but I get the same problem How to repeat: I am using a distribution of Knoppix 5.0 as my baseline with many addition packages. shell> mysql mysql> enter commands and the use up/down keys to get history The text is garbled.
