Re: Readline support in psql -- worked earlier for me

It doesn't appear to be interested in my ~/.inputrc file:

--------------
[pkovacs(at)pokkermann bin]$ grep '\/home\/pkovacs\/\.' f
stat64("/home/pkovacs/.pgpass", {st_mode=S_IFREG|0600, st_size=66, ...}) = 0
open("/home/pkovacs/.pgpass", O_RDONLY|O_LARGEFILE) = 4
access("/home/pkovacs/.psqlrc-8.3.3", R_OK) = -1 ENOENT (No such file
or directory)
access("/home/pkovacs/.psqlrc", R_OK) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
open("/home/pkovacs/.psql_history", O_RDONLY) = 5
stat64("/home/pkovacs/.terminfo", 0xbf8f3a94) = -1 ENOENT (No such
file or directory)
open("/home/pkovacs/.psql_history", O_WRONLY|O_CREAT|O_TRUNC, 0600) = 4
--------------

But looks into /etc/inputrc:

--------------
[pkovacs(at)pokkermann bin]$ grep 'inputrc' f
stat64("/etc/inputrc", {st_mode=S_IFREG|0644, st_size=758, ...}) = 0
open("/etc/inputrc", O_RDONLY) = 5
--------------

Should I, perhaps, set something in ~/.psqlrc ? Or is there something
to set in /etc/inputrc ?

Thanks
Peter
