Unix/Linux users should have either libedit or readline around. For Windows this is still might not be a complete solutions, last time I tried I failed with providing inofficial readline builds (don't remember the problem) but maybe the win folks can provide libedit based builds (we can't provide readline based builds due to licensing) > Well if linenoise() isn't that different, you could use #ifdefs to make > it use the correct lib at compile-time, no? That won't solve the issue that the extension might not be there (unless you undo the refactoring in 5.4 which means there's no way to override using readline anymore, as mentioned in my previous mail) johannes
