Thread: Selectively compile psql
Hello, This is a re-post, as it seems the mail didn't appear. I want to recompile only psql with the readline library. When I installed PG, GNU readline package was not there. Now db is running fine, and I don't want to disturb it. I tried doing this but things got messed up. Can anybody point me to the brief steps to do this. Thanks in advance. Regards. -Samik

Hi, Thanks for the reply. I had to change the way though. I followed: ./configure gmake -C src/bin/psql gmake install -C src/bin/psql cd'ing to src/bin/psql was giving the following error: make: Fatal error in reader: ../../../src/Makefile.global, line 24: Illegal dependencies for target `.SILENT' Thanks anyway for the clue.

Can anybody point me to the brief steps to do this. I had the same problem. I simply compiled the whole postgres stuff but didn't "make install". Instead I copied psql to /home/pgsql/bin manually.
