Description

When using IRB 1.9  (# $Release Version: 0.9.5  #  $Revision: 14912 ) pressing the up arrow key does not show the most recent expression or statement executed.  You get   ^[[A   instead.   Ruby installed in Ubuntu Feisty Fawn.   IRB 1.8 works fine displaying history.

This works for me with ruby 1.9.0 (2008-07-09 revision 15873), you are probably missing either readline or readline headers so ruby cannot build the readline extension.
