Thread: readline.h and history.h configure error
Hi all, I'm trying to get 'readline' and 'history' support for the PostgreSQL shell. Working in psql without all the bash features (like auto completion etc.) is very nasty. I receive the following error by configuring PostgreSQL: "..... checking for netinet/tcp.h... yes checking whether string.h and strings.h may both be included... (cached) yes checking for readline/readline.h... (cached) no checking for readline.h... (cached) no checking for readline/history.h... (cached) no checking for history.h... (cached) no ....." The two files readline.h and history.h are in ' /usr/include/readline/ ' and softlinked inside ' /usr/include ' as well. The netinet/tcp.h lives in ' /usr/include/ ' too and the configure script likes it. Where is the error? Is there a central index for all header files, where tcp.h is included and readline.h is not? By the way: What means "(cached)"? Or is there a bug in the PostgreSQL 7.2.3 configure script ? Many thanks for any suggestions! Regards, Stefan Stern

Try deleting config.cache and running configure again. -- Martijn van Oosterhout <kleptog@svana.org> http://svana.org/kleptog/ > There are 10 kinds of people in the world, those that can do binary > arithmetic and those that can't.
