Installin Postgres

From

Hi,

i'd just installed postgresql-7.3.2 on a Suse 8.2 with some Problems I can't
solve.
The error message was 'readline library not found, compile
with --without-readline'
I did so, but addiotional --enable-locale and --enable-odbc.
It compiled and installed well -I thought. But I can't start the postmaster
service with the error message:
Failed to initialize lc_messages to ´´
'Fatal invalid value for option LC_MESSAGES'
First I installed postgresql from the Suse Distri, but with the same effect.
By the way - readline is installed and I added the Path where it reside to
the ld.so.conf.
I assume a package is missing on my system, but also 'googlen' didn't solve
it...
Is there any help?

Best regards

mario

You need to install readline-devel.

This isn't related to the readline problem but rather to
--enable-locale. Your postgres binary isn't happy with how your
locale is set up. You'd need to check that.

You apparently have something weird in your locale environment.  I'd
suggest editing postgresql.conf to set the LC_xxx variables (look at
the bottom) to 'C', or at least something supported on your platform.
