Since I am using an AMD64 system (~amd64) my nano is giving troubles. Whenever I scroll through a document it is giving an output like this:
Code:
get_buffer(): key_buffer_len = 1= 1
\usepackage{a4wide} Main: top anparse_kbinput(): kbinput = 258, meta_key = 0, func_key = 0, escapes = 0, byte_digits = 0, retval = 14


After closing nano the terminal contains a lot of lines similar to the following:
Code:

Starting a new syntax type: "ebuild"
Starting a new colorstring for fg 2, bg -1
Adding new entry for fg 2, bg -1


The problem is occurring with any of the versions 1.3.6, 1.3.7, 1.3.8 that I have tried.

This practically leaves nano useless for me, if someone knows a solution for the problem I'd be glad to hear so.
If there is knowone knowing a solution I'll consider posting a bugreport to bugzilla. Also, if there is any additional information needed I'll be glad to provide you with it.

Just out of curiosity , have you tried using a precompiled binary of nano to see if that would work

No, actually I haven't, mainly because I have not been able to find a binary precomiled for AMD64, if you can point me to one I will be glad to try it.

I use nano on my AMD64-setup (mostly stable amd64) and it works without problems. The stable version now is 1.3.7.

Since you're running unstable amd64 (~amd64), if I understand correctly, I guess that's the risk you're taking... :twisted: I would advice you to wait filing that bug report until you're sure that it's nano that causes the problems, not some other instability in your setup.

Hi Kerie:

Try emerging nano with "-debug" in the USE flag. I guess that the "debug" USE flag is giving you the trouble.
