Thread: readline configure error again
Hi again, I show more about the error when configuring. this is the message I get when running the "./configure" command. checking for readline... no configure: error: readline library not found If you have readline already installed, see config.log for details on the failure. It is possible the compiler isn't looking in the proper directory. Use --without-readline to disable readline support. I don't know about the headers. Thanks for your attention mike-af

It doesn't know where to find your readline headers and libraries.
If you are compiling on a system with various packages (like RPM,
.deb, whatever), you probably need to install the development version
(it has the headers).
If you compiled and installed yourself, you might want to use the
--with-includes and --with-libs directives.

I am also getting this error, I have just installed readline-4.2 and I am using this configure syntax ./configure --with-perl --prefix=/usr/local/pgsql7.3.1 --with-libraries='/usr/local/lib' --with-includes='/usr/local/include' libreadline.so is located in /usr/local/lib. System details: bash-2.03$ uname -a SunOS webdev1 5.8 Generic_108528-12 sun4u sparc SUNW,UltraAX-i2 Any ideas why this is not finding readline?

The error message does suggest looking into config.log ...
My bet is either a search path problem or you are missing a required
library (on some platforms libreadline depends on libtermcap, IIRC).

I have looked in config.log, but unfortunately I am none the wiser.... The
first appearance of readline looks like this...
configure:5800: checking for readline
configure:5837: gcc -o conftest -I/usr/local/include -L/usr/local/lib
conftest.c -lreadline -lrt -lresolv -lgen -lsocket -lnsl -ldl -lm

But I have no idea what the problem is or how to fix it.....
Wouldn't the ....
--with-libs=/usr/local/lib --with-includes=/usr/local/include
... part of the configure take care of any search path problems?
Thanks for any help

Ok, after some more fiddling and something I spotted on an R mailing list... I had built readline, but not as a shared library... So building readline thus ./configure make make install make shared make install-shared and then ./configure --with-perl --prefix=/usr/local/pgsql7.3.1 --with-libs=/usr/local/lib --with-includes=/usr/local/include ... make ... etc for postgresql, everything worked ok.

im just replying just to get this thing on record.. so if someone looks for the answer this would help.. try installing this thing.. libtermcap-devel-2.0.8-35.i386.rpm i really dont know why this package needed..
