[Test]: Attempted ./configure on 9.0-beta3 source tree with various options...
[Platform]: Solaris 10 Sun4u Ultra Enterprise 450 Quad
[Parameters]:
./configure
CC='gcc -m64'
--with-openssl
[Failure]: Yes
[Results]:
configure: error: readline library not found
If you have readline already installed, see config.log for details on the
failure. It is possible the compiler isn't looking in the proper directory.
Use --without-readline to disable readline support.
-LOG OUTPUT:
checking for library containing crypt... none required
...
checking for -lreadline... no
[Comments]: Better to call this a 'report' rather than a 'failure'; we do have readline on this system (though probably a 32-bit version).
If 64-bit PostgreSQL requires a 64-bit build of readline, and if checking for a 64-bit readline is an intended new behavior of the configure script, then this report should be considered only an 'FYI' for the next tester...
