OpenBSD 2.9 - installation works fine but psql won't run - Mailing list pgsql-general

Ay caramba.

I'm trying to get PostreSQL 7.1.2 up and running on my i386 OpenBSD 2.9
machine.  It seems like all is going well -- ./configure, gmake, gmake
install, initdb, createdb test all work fine, but then when I try to psql
test I get the following:

- - - - - - - - -
bash-2.05$ /usr/local/pgsql/bin/psql test
Welcome to psql, the PostgreSQL interactive terminal.

Type:  \copyright for distribution terms
       \h for help with SQL commands
       \? for help on internal slash commands
       \g or terminate with semicolon to execute query
       \q to quit

/usr/libexec/ld.so: Undefined symbol "_tgetent" called from
psql:/usr/lib/libreadline.so.0.0 at 0x40088964
- - - - - - - - -

...and it fails to connect.  I'm using readline 4.2, in case that matters.

Here's the output from ./configure:
