Hi,
Very soon I have the same problem on Mandrake 10.0.
If you search the novice list you will find the answers I get.
Also I solve the problem by searching for the library -
libreadline4-devel-4.3-7.mdk. I suppose the 'mdk' ending is specifik for
Mandrake but this is some kind of a package. Look for something similar
on your distribution.
You can avoid this problem by telling configure not to use readline but
then psql behave terrible.
Regards
Kaloyan Iliev
