Comment 0 for bug 126374

Package: gnuplot-nox
Version: 4.0.0-2

Gnuplot can't handle cursor keys correctly: When I start gnuplot, type
"word " and press "Home" "End" "Delete", I get this line in gnuplot:

gnuplot> word 7~8~3~

I would expect that the cursor moves to line start, line end and delete a
character.
It seems that this version of gnuplot is not linked against gnus
libreadline. I suggest linking against gnu libreadline, because all the
cursor handling is much better and even file completition is working! This
can be done via

./configure --with-readline=gnu

I would be very happy if this could be fixed soon, because we use gnuplot
very often here.

Thanks,
