Обсуждение: back space key and arrows keys

Hello!

    How can I configure the back space key and arrows keys to
work well inside psql, avoiding thinks like that:

zakal$ psql
Welcome to psql, the PostgreSQL interactive terminal.

Type:  \copyright for distribution terms
       \h for help with SQL commands
       \? for help on internal slash commands
       \g or terminate with semicolon to execute query
       \q to quit

zakal=# select 1 + 3; ^H^[[D^[[A^[[C

    See the funny thimbols?
    Is there any postgres file to configure that?

You need to have readline and probably the readline development
headers (if you're planning to recompile), re-run configure
and see what it says about readline (if it doesn't find it, you
will probably need to explicitly give it the include and library
paths) and then rebuild.
