Thread: Newbie: More readline woes.
Hello List... I'm trying to install postgresql 7.2.3 after removing the rpm installation (which worked ok with readline) on RH7.3. My problem is that the output of configure states: ... checking for readline... no ... with the result that postgresql installs ok but I don't have any command-line history. Readline .so files are installed on /usr/lib and the header files in /usr/include/readline. This is my configure command: ./configure --enable-multibyte '--enable-nls='it fr de' --with-openssl=/usr/share/ssl --enable-syslog --with-includes=/usr/include --with-libraries=/usr/lib Any suggestions to figure out why it's not recognizing readline already installed are greatly appreciated. (If I install from rpms command-line history works - but I'd like to use the latest version and install to /usr/local/pgsqlinstead of redhat's default /usr/lib/pgsql) thanks /j-p.

You dont need the header files with already compiled binaries. Does this help you? Regards Tino

I've just tried installing the termcap-devel package, ran ldconfig, and now the configure command has found readline it seems...I'll carry on with the install and get back to the list if it's still not resolved. regards /j-p.
