FW: readline and psql - Mailing list pgsql-novice

HI,

I am sending this notice again because I didn't get a response the first time.  Thank you to any one who can help.

HI,

I have successfully compiled and installed 7.2 on my RH 7.1 Box with a 2.4.10
kernel.

I have used the following configureation paramerter:

#!/bin/sh
CFLAGS="-O9" ./configure --enable-syslog --with-tcl --enable-odbc
--with-openssl--with-includes=/usr/local/include/readline
-with-libs=/usr/lib/libreadline

I see where it says no to readline, but yet it still finds thea header files.

My question is that when I change to the postgres user and start psql like so:

psql testdb

I do not get to use any of the command history.  Now I have installed 7.2 on
another machine and the command history works fine.  Any help would be
appreaciated.
