I’m new to Ruby and just starting to learn the “pick axe”
I am running the built-in “ruby 1.6.7 (2002-03-01) [powerpc-darwin6.0]” version of ruby on my TiBook running 10.2.1.
I would like to set-up irb to be able to go back in the history of commands in order to save on some typing. But when I press the up arrow, I get the standard terminal “^[[A” funk. How do I set irb to keep a history of my commands for future use? I figured you could do this with an .irbrc file, but I do not know what to add to the file to get it to do this.
you need to compile irb with readline support - eg. the readline libraries
must be on your system when ruby is configured.
