Thread: '7.3RC2 install problem
First off I know this is FAQ and searched through the archives, but for some reason archive search function is not working at http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-general/ ... I just get a time-out waiting for results to come back ... I'm trying to install 7.3RC2 on my Red Hat 7.2 Linux system but I get two errors when running .configure. It can't find the readline libs or the zlibs ... But I checked and I'm pretty sure both are installed: # rpm -i readline-4.2-2.i386.rpm package readline-4.2-2 is already installed # locate readline | grep so /usr/lib/libreadline.so.4 /usr/lib/libreadline.so.4.2 # rpm -ih zlib-1.1.3-24.i386.rpm package zlib-1.1.3-24 is already installed The config.log give these as the paths it is looking in: PATH: /usr/local/sbin PATH: /usr/sbin PATH: /sbin PATH: /usr/bin PATH: /bin PATH: /usr/local/bin PATH: /usr/X11R6/bin PATH: /root/bin PATH: /usr/local/pgsql/bin I tried ./configure --libdir=/usr/lib but that didn't help ... Sorry for the simple question but how can I solve this? Jc PS If I *do* have the proper libs installed, shouldn't the configure scripts be updated so that it can find the libs automatically?

The headers should be in the "-devel" RPM packages, which you can get from your distro's CD or FTP site. Cheers, Neil -- Neil Conway <neilc@samurai.com> || PGP Key ID: DB3C29FC
