Thread: Unable to get psql compiled

Unable to get psql compiled

Hi,

    This is a new installation of PostgreSQL 7.0 on Solaris 2.6.

    I posted a problem to this mailing list regarding psql missing in
the bin directory.  Now I tried to compile it in the src directory, i.e.

/usr/share/src/postgresql-7.0/src/bin/psql and here is the error:

# gmake
gmake -C ../../interfaces/libpq libpq.a
gmake[1]: Entering directory
`/usr/share/src/postgresql-7.0/src/interfaces/libpq'
gmake[1]: `libpq.a' is up to date.
gmake[1]: Leaving directory
`/usr/share/src/postgresql-7.0/src/interfaces/libpq'

`rl_completion_append_character'
tab-complete.o(.text+0x2658): undefined reference to
`rl_completion_append_character'
gmake: *** [psql] Error 1
#

   Any hint/help is appreciated.

Some old versions of readline don't have rl_completion_append character so
the safest thing to do would be to upgrade your readline library, if
possible. However, the strange thing is that there is a configure check
against that. Perhaps you need to do make distclean and reconfigure and
rebuild. If that doesn't work I'd need to see the files src/config.log and
src/include/config.h that are created by configure.

    install 'GNU readline' library.
