No readline for IPython (Linux, home directory install)

ahmed_f_1 — Fri, 08 Apr 2016 14:40:31 GMT

I installed the Intel Python Beta (version 3.5) on Linux, in my home folder. The IPython doesn't seem to have readline support:

WARNING: Readline services not available or not loaded.
WARNING: The auto-indent feature requires the readline library

This may be why arrow keys don't work (up/left insert escape characters to my shell), no color, etc.

Hello Ahmed,

what OS version are you using?

Thanks.
