Thread: Problem building PostgreSQL 7.1 with readline-4.2

Problem building PostgreSQL 7.1 with readline-4.2

From
"Fazal Majid"
Date:
Apparently readline-4.2 gratuitously breaks backward compatibility by
undefining filename_completion_function (now called
rl_filename_completion_function).
This causes the compilation of src/bin/psql/tab-complete.c to fail.
Perhaps configure should be updated to detect this.

Yours,

I think this will be fixed in 7.1.1.
