I've emerged zsh 4.0.4 into my new gentoo 1.2 machine. I have "readline" in my USE variable and readline is installed on my machine (bash works fine with it). Here is what it is linked against: wavepacket root # ldd /bin/zsh /lib/libsandbox.so => /lib/libsandbox.so (0x40018000) libdl.so.2 => /lib/libdl.so.2 (0x4002d000) libnsl.so.1 => /lib/libnsl.so.1 (0x40031000) libncurses.so.5 => /lib/libncurses.so.5 (0x40047000) libm.so.6 => /lib/libm.so.6 (0x4008e000) libc.so.6 => /lib/libc.so.6 (0x400b0000) /lib/ld-linux.so.2 => /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0x40000000)
phoenix, is readline an option for zsh? if so, it should be USE-enabled...
zsh with the same config file on another debian machine works fine and it isn't linked against readline so I guess it is a rewrite in zsh. This isn't a bug with gentoo, it must be something with my current setup. I'll mark the bug as invalid, sorry for wasting time and bits :)
