Bug 328443 – dev-db/sqlite-3 with readline enabled doesn't have readline functionality

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED INVALID

[Description Robert Spillner 2010-07-15 17:01:30 UTC]

Although compiled with use flag "readline" readline isn't available when using sqlite3. Possible workaround is using rlwrap still this is strange.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. fire up sqlite3
2. type some commands
3. hit Arrow-Up key

Actual Results:  
"^[[A"

Expected Results:  
scroll through command buffer

Works for me.
What's the version of readline and sqlite3 ?
Do you have build log of sqlite3 ?

Readline is version 6, more specific sys-libs/readline-6.1, sqlite3 is dev-db/sqlite-3.6.23.1.

Seems that this bug can me marked INVALID since readline actually works for me with as root and also after I do "su user" as user. However, readline gets disabled in a login-shell for normal users but not for root and I cannot really figure out why.
So this is probably somehow related to settings in bashrc/bash_profile.
