Dear All,
    After installing the readline library 4.2 on my solaris box, I want to reconfigure the postgresql v4.2.3.  I have tried to configure like following:
    ./configure --enable-readline
 
    But seems always appeared no readline function installed later.
 
    Is there anyone have ever encounter such situation before? Please give me some advices.
 
Regards,
Alex

I assume you mean 7.2.3 ...

There is no --enable-readline in 7.2.3 (consult configure --help for the
definitive list of options recognized by any particular configure
script).

I suspect that you failed to follow through on rebuilding and
reinstalling Postgres after reconfiguring.  Try
    ./configure
    -- make *sure* configure output shows that it found readline,
    -- both library and header files
    make clean
    make all
    make install

            regards, tom lane

Dear All,
    When I configuring the prosgresql again. the following appears:

    ...
    checking for readline... (cached) no
    ...
    checking for readline/readline.h... (cached) yes
    checking for readline/history.h... (cached) yes
    ...

    What happened?

Regards,
Alex

Cached?  Maybe you need to remove config.cache before rerunning
configure.
