PostgreSQL 7.1.3 Installation Problem

From
"Emmanuel Asante"
Date:
I am trying to install PostgreSQL version 7.1.3 on a Win98 platform. The configuration step completes without incident but when I run make, I get the following error messages.
 
-L ../../src/interfaces/libpq -lpq -L/usr/local/lib -g -lz -lcrypt -lreadline -lcygipc -o psql
tab-complete.o(.text+0x2a36):tab-complete.c:undefined reference to 'filename_completion_function'
Collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make[3]:***[psql] Error 1
make[3]:Leaving directory '/usr/src/postgresql-7.1.3/src/bin/psql'
make[2]:***[all] Error 2
make[2]:Leaving directory '/usr/src/postgresql-7.1.3/src/bin'
make[1]:***[all] Error 2
make[1]:Leaving directory '/usr/src/postgresql-7.1.3/src'
make: *** [all] Error 2
 
Can anybody tell me what is wrong and what I should do to correct it.
 
Thanks,
 
Emmanuel

You may need a newer or different version of libreadline.

Tom,

The version of readline I used is the latest (i.e. version 4.2-3). I got a
new copy from another source but I still got the same error messages. Do you
think an older version will work?

Regards,

Emmanuel Asante

Hmm, maybe.  The readline boys have a bad habit of making incompatible
API changes with every release :-(.  I know we had it working with all
readline releases up through a few months ago, but maybe they've
zigzagged again.  Could you try it with 4.2 or before?  If it works that
way then I'll try to figure out what they changed...

Oh btw: make very certain that your readline library and include files
are from the same release.  (If you're working with rpms, that's the
library and devel rpms...)
