I'm not terribly UNIX-savvy, so I don't really know how to get a
library version ala 'program --version', but I have "libreadline.
5.2.dylib" and "libreadline.5.0.dylib", and the man-page says it's
for version 5.0. I haven't changed my readline installation since I
compiled and installed PostgreSQL 8.1.1, and then it worked with no
problems.
I have an installation in both "/usr" and "/usr/local" - with "/usr/
local" taking precedence - maybe it gets confused, but they seem to
be the same version.
I have in the meantime found a workaround - if I specify '--with-
libedit-preferred', it compiles fine.
