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?

I think this (from the Fink FAQ) should help you. It worked for me.

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.
