Bash completion not working


Hello. I have a LFS-7.8 Linux and bash completion with make and man is not working. Do you know what I can do to make it work? Thanks.

Are you sourcing it in your bash invocation files? https://www.debian-administration.or...pletion_part_1

There's also https://github.com/scop/bash-completion if you don't have it installed.

Additionally, git and other programs install their own bash completion when you build it.

Thank you it worked after installing from the github link. I had to copy a file from /usr/local/etc/profile.d to /etc/profile.d to make it work... Not sure if it was the right thing to do.
