After using make build_c; make install_c or make and make install, then following the sourcing instructions I received FAILED TO FIND A FILE TO PARSE! upon using ash_query.

Digging through the source I eventually found reference to $HOME/.ash/queries. touching this file made everything work as expected.

I just had the same problem, but instead of simply touching $HOME/.ash/queries, I copied it from the system installed files:

cp /usr/local/etc/advanced-shell-history/queries $HOME/.ash/

Thanks to this, you can take profit of the pre-configured ash_query queries (DEMO, CWD, RCWD, ME)

Add a reference to ASH_CFG_SYSTEM_QUERY_FILE env var when loading que…

Without this, running `ash_query -Q` results in:
FAILED TO FIND A FILE TO PARSE!

This is because the C version of `get_query` is looking for queries in
`/etc/ash/queries` and `~/.ash/queries`, but not the default installation
path of `/user/local/etc/advanced-shell-history/queries`, which is
referenced in the `ASH_CFG_SYSTEM_QUERY_FILE` environment variable.

This commit adds the file referenced by this environment variable to the
list of queries files to load.

Fixes barabo#11
