gnupic: Thread: Pista 0.30a released

Dear folks,

The latest version of my PICSTART+ handler, Pista is 0.30a.
The most important change: device handler files are converted
to XML (The GRUPID project! :-)
It supports 18XXX architecture.
It reads/writes 128 kB (64k words) blocks transparently.

Plans to the near future: adding new devices supported by PS+ 4.10.6.

It does not depends on kernel but requires PERL 5.6 or higher.

When I try to run pista I get this error:

Can't locate Pista/Object/Buffer.pm in @INC (@INC contains: 
/usr/local/bin/../lib /usr/lib/perl5/5.6.0/i386-linux /usr/lib/perl5/5.6.0 
/usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.6.0/i386-linux /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.6.0 
/usr/lib/perl5/site_perl .) at /usr/local/bin/pista line 40.
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at /usr/local/bin/pista line 40.

Which I then managed to fix with:

$ export PERLLIB="/usr/local/lib/pista"

Then when I run it again I get:

Can't locate object method "AddHistory" via package "Term::ReadLine::Stub" 
at /usr/local/bin/pista line 79.

So I guess I don't have the Perl Readline library installed. How does one 
do this? In a vain attempt, I tried copying this:

 http://search.cpan.org/~hayashi/Term-ReadLine-Gnu-1.14/Gnu.pm

to the pista perl module directory. If that would have worked, I doubt I'd 
be writing this e-mail. How do you install the readline module?

Ooops! I forgot to check new instalation system after the N-th
modification.

Please apply this patch:

I fix this problem today and I release 0.31a

Thanks for the bug report.

Default PERL distribution contains a basic Term::ReadLine package
that can be overridden transparently with Term::ReadLine::Gnu.

You need Term-ReadLine-Gnu-1.14.tar.gz.
Installation instructions are inside.
(It is quite easy:
	perl Makefile.PL
	make
	make test
	make install
)


However next Pista release will care if Term::ReadLine::Gnu is
installed or not.

Thanks again.
