Thread: OS X installation with readline support
After reading this: http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=postgresql-general&m=103886532224699&w=2 It looks like some of you out there have successfully installed postgresql on OS X with readline support. I have installed readline via Fink but the compiler can't find it. How do I tell it where to look? culley

Check out the distribution at http://www.entropy.ch/software/macosx/postgresql/ It does come with readline. I'm sure there are those who think highly of Fink, but I have to say that -- speaking personally -- I was seriously grossed out that they expected me to be root just to download something.
This worked for me... ./configure --with-libs=/sw/lib --with-includes=/sw/include > After reading this: > > http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=postgresql-general&m=103886532224699&w=2 > > It looks like some of you out there have successfully installed > postgresql on OS X with readline support.
