                   Red Hat, Inc. Bug Fix Advisory

Synopsis:          gnuplot
Advisory ID:       RHBA-2000:021-01
Issue date:        2000-05-08
Updated on:        2000-05-08
Product:           Red Hat Linux
Keywords:          editing, completion, arrows, history, readline
Cross references:  N/A
---------------------------------------------------------------------

1. Topic:

gnuplot in Red Hat Linux 6.2 has problems with editing at the command line.

2. Relevant releases/architectures:

Red Hat Linux 6.2 - i386 alpha sparc

3. Problem description:

gnuplot was inadvertently built without readline support for Red Hat Linux 6.2.  The readline library provides command line completion for filenames, shell-style editing, and command history.  The problem has been corrected by properly linking gnuplot against the readline library.

4. Solution:

For each RPM for your particular architecture, run:

rpm -Fvh [filename]

where filename is the name of the RPM.

5. Bug IDs fixed (http://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla for more info):

10810 - filename completion and commandline editing in gnuplot
