Subject: Re: IRB Keyboard Input Issues

Which OS are you using. On Solaris for example you have normally thsi
beahvior because readline is missing. You have to provide then first
readline and tell ruby that readline is avaiable (extend the Library path,
and I think there is a option --with-readline).
