tcsh history is broken. Even if I do "source -h .cshrc" the history will still be blank with "set history=1000", If I "set history=10" it will remember what I "source -h" but not any commands I type. bash works perfect. I believe this is a 21264 specific problem as it does not occur on my 21064. It may even be a SMP 21264 unique problem. I've also tried rebuilding tcsh from SRPM using the patched egcs compiler to no avail.
The fact that history didn't work at all was because of bug #3686. It was the bugs in the kde scripts (kdesupport). After applying fixes for bug #3686 history works for the current session. However, I do notice that history is still not preserved between sessions. It this just a configuration change?
do you have a ~/.history file?
I had to add both a ~/.history file and "set savehist=1" to get it to work between sessions. I've never had to do this under Redhat/i386. Funny...oh well. Thanks!
This problem appears to be reolved. Please reopen if I'm wriong.
