Thread: readline-support

I just compiled postgreSQL 7.1 and in the install I read about
automatic readline-support.

I have readline 4.1 installed
(/lib/libhistory.so.4 /lib/libhistory.so.4.1 /lib/libreadline.so.4
/lib/libreadline.so.4.1),

but readline doesnt work as I expected: using the arror-up/down to
scroll history does not work. I get the usual '[[x' ;)
I tried on console and in my xterm.

any way to fix it ?

thnx,
peter

What about readline's include files?

Pay attention to the configure outputs --- unless it finds both
readline.h and readline.so/.a, it won't build readline support.
