I second this. I've got tab completion in my irb with Ruby 1.8.5 no
problem. And a ton of other silliness, too, I really pimped out my irb
for no reason. If you've been using ports from the beginning
everything ports has installed will be in /opt/local, generally
speaking, so you can just throw that dir in the trash and start it
over again. I've heard readline is quirky but when I did the port
install it went OK for me. Anyway, wish I could be more helpful, but
what you're trying to do is definitely possible, it's just something
probably went wrong in your ports dir like Ben's saying.
