Ticket #14405 – Description
v25 v44 1 The readline in IPython is broken . Installing the ncurses headers from the distribution (yum install ncurses-devel) fixes this.1 The readline in IPython is broken if ncurses-devel is not installed in various modern Linux distributions. Installing the ncurses headers from the distribution (yum install ncurses-devel on Fedora) fixes this. 2 2 3 3 Example video: http://youtu.be/dxp1SIXbIyY 4 4 5 The problem seems to be that the ancient libtermcap (no new releases since March 2002) is not enough anymore. I suggest to replace the termcap spkg with ncurses. Sage-5.9.beta3 builds fine. The only downside is that it takes ~2mb instead of ~300k, but on the upside the terminal is no longer broken.
