[yt-users] Fwd: Readline service not available

BTW, I already tried the method in the FAQ
http://yt-project.org/doc/faq.html#i-can-t-scroll-up-to-previous-commands-inside-iyt,
but it still dosen't work.

To: yt-users at lists.spacepope.org


Hello everyone,

I'm Chao, just started to learn how to use yt and python.

After I installed yt following the instruction in the main page, when I
invoke iyt
or ipython, waring of "Readline Services not available on this platform"
and "The
auto-indent feature requires the readline library' came out.

I'm using Ubuntu11.10 shipped with python2.7.2+ and when I run this
version, readline
is available. But I was installing yt, it seems that python2.7.1 was
installed along with yt,
and consequently ipython and iyt was built upon python2.7.1. I tried
python2.7.1 and
showed that the readline is not available, and so does iyt and ipython. I
don't know whether
multiple versions of python caused this problem and I don't know how to
solve it. Can
anyone give some guidance? I'm new to linux and I apologize if this problem
is
too obvious to experienced users. But I haven't found effective solution on
google.

Thanks,

Chao
