Crash when typing <tab> in irb

ruby-talk
1

Hi! I'm running Ruby 1.8.2 on WindowsXP Pro SP2.
I fired up 'irb' and require a module I created with SWIG.
I then type the name of my class and a tab character to see
what kind of methods are available for it, and I get the
following:

···

=================================================================
irb(main):001:0> load 'Contract.rb'
RubyBarChart Module V0.01 ...
=> true
irb(main):002:0> RubyBarChart::c:/ruby/lib/ruby/1.8/irb/input-method.rb:97: [BUG] Segmentation fault
ruby 1.8.2 (2004-12-25) [i386-mswin32]

This application has requested the Runtime to terminate it in an unusual way.
Please contact the application's support team for more information.

Have I done something wrong with my module? Maybe I need to provide
some kind of reflection method in it?

Thanks!

This is because of readline which is known to be odd on win32. It's a good idea to turn readline support off, but when I did that it involved deleting DLLs from the Ruby directory and removing lines of code from other files. I hope it has become easier and someone is able to tell...

Hi,

Which version of rubyinstaller are you using.
I remember this readline problem was fixed since rubyinstaller 1.8.2-15.

HTH,
