christos@zoulas.com (Christos Zoulas) dixit : > You recompile gdb with readline. I have had the same problem for a while with ddd 3.3.7 and the « builtin » gdb. I thought it was some bug related to ddd, rather than gdb itself. USELIBEDIT=no in /usr/src/gnu/usr.bin/gdb53/Makefile.inc definitely solves the problem. Thanks Vincent
