Problems with interpreter

Hello!

I recently switched from Python2.1, which was installed on my system, to 
Pyhton2.3, which I compiled on my own and installed it in my $HOME. For some 
reason the interpreter of Python2.3 does no longer recognize the arrow keys. 
Instead of showing the last command on [ARROW UP], I get a strange escape 
sequence ^[OA. Why does it behave like that? Did I miss a configure option?  
I would be grateful for any suggestion.

Cheers, Boris
