For some reason, when I use
mclient -u voc -d voc
going into the sql command interface, I am unable to recall earlier sql commands using the arrow keys on the keyboard. Some other friends and colleagues can do this. What gives?

% mclient --version mclient, the MonetDB interactive terminal (Oct2012-3a365170cd97) support for command-line editing compiled-in character encoding: UTF-8 If your output doesn't show the "support for command-line editing compiled-in" line, it means you didn't have readline available when installing.

Installing libreadline-dev (which for some reason was missing), deleting
everything in the build directory, and then bootstrap, config, make,
make-installing again (using clone of the mercurial repository) worked.
Thanks,
