Trying to compile Postgres 8.3.6 and configure fails with readline lib
missing, I have readline installed ,  please see all info bellow,
OS:  Linux RHES  x-64 bits installation.

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.

do you have dev installed?

$ rpm -qa | grep readline-dev
readline-devel-5.1-1.1

Check config.log to find what's wrong.

BTW why do you need debug?

Also, you might want to use rpms from pgsqlrmps: http://yum.pgsqlrpms.org/

Hi Ray,

Thank  you , that was the rpm I was missing ( DEVEL), now I 'm getting
zlib missing , BUT is there ...Do I need a special flavor also  ?
rpm -qa zlib
zlib-1.2.3-3
zlib-1.2.3-3
checking for library containing shmget... none required
checking for -lreadline... yes (-lreadline -ltermcap)
checking for inflate in -lz... no
configure: error: zlib library not found
If you have zlib already installed, see config.log for details on the
failure.  It is possible the compiler isn't looking in the proper directory.
Use --without-zlib to disable zlib support.

You need zlib-devel.

Is there are particular reason you aren't just using the precompiled
RPMS for 8.3.6?
