Re: Figured it out (psql and Gnu readline) - Mailing list pgsql-general

Here's a stupid question,

What happens if you do the same kind of compile on a similar program from
your shell (a simple program that includes <readline/history.h>, with and
without -I/usr/local/include?
I'm just wondering if the compiler is not looking in /usr/local/include by
default and is not finding the header because of that...
