Short Description
Compile file if using readline-4.2 (PostGres 7.1)

Long Description
Hello All,

psql will not compile if using readline-4.2 because some functions has been renamed.

Workaround :

I add following define in the beginning of tab-complete.c

#define completion_matches    rl_completion_matches
#define    filename_completion_function    rl_filename_completion_function

Now I have some "incompatible pointer" warning but it runs ok. (no time to trying to correct these warning :-( )

Bye

Laurent

Already fixed for 7.1.1.

I do wish the readline guys would pay more attention to stability of
their API ...
