Thread: configure readline error

configure readline error

From
John McGloughlin
Date:
Hello,

I'm having trouble with ./configure for Postgres 7.3.3 on a RH7.3 i686
system.
....
checking for readline... no
readline library not found
if you have readline already installed .....

I've gone through config.log and it looks like it searches the correct
locations.

I have gnu readline 4.1 installed and can find libs in
/usr/local/lib/libreadline.a and headers in
/usr/local/lib/include/readline/*.h.

I configured with ./configure
--with-includes=/usr/local/lib:/usr/local/lib/include/readline
--with-libraries=/usr/local/lib:/usr/local/lib/include/readline
--with-perl --with-openssl --with-syslog

Unfortunately I keep getting the error. I've searched numerous lists,
groups, faqs, etc. but cannot seem to resolve the issue. Any help would
be greatly appreciated.

Thanx in advance!

johnmac

"not found" in this context would probably be better read as "something
went wrong but I dunno what".  A likely possibility is that the readline
library needs some secondary library that configure didn't try
including.  Could we see the full config.log results?

Hm, I think those paths ought to be just
  --with-includes=/usr/local/lib:/usr/local/lib/include
  --with-libraries=/usr/local/lib

but not sure if that accounts for your problem ... also, readline 4.1
is long in the tooth, an update to 4.2 might help ...

            regards, tom lane
