I think the switches are confusing ... when you are using libedit, you certainly don't want readline as well, so it seems natural to disable it. I understand that what --without-readline really does is turn the line-editing capability off in general rather than just readline, which is confusing. -- Alvaro Herrera http://www.CommandPrompt.com/ PostgreSQL Replication, Consulting, Custom Development, 24x7 support

The documentation could be improved perhaps: $ ./configure --help | grep -i edit --with-libedit-preferred prefer BSD Libedit over GNU Readline --without-readline do not use GNU Readline / BSD Libedit line editing $ ISTM the second line would be clearer if it read --without-readline do not use GNU Readline nor BSD Libedit for editing Also, we probably ought to see if we can make the libedit-preferred line come out second. regards, tom lane

I will give it a shot *but* I would suggest we change the wording: --with-libedit-preferred prefer BSD Libedit over GNU Readline That says to me, try libedit but if it doesn't work, try readline. But maybe that is just me. Sincerely, Joshua D.

With removing the second switch, were good.

I really don't get the libedit-preferred syntax? Why not just: --with-libedit use BSD Libedit not GNU Readline --with-readline use GNU Readline not BSD Libedit --without-readline do not use GNU Readline nor BSD Libedit Of course --without-readline is really a misnomer too. But --without-edit doesn't sound right. Sincerely, Joshua D.

If we made it behave as above then the user would be forced to specify which library was installed on his system, which is a bit pedantic when most platforms will have only one. regards, tom lane

The only thing I can say to this, would be if you are compiling from source, being pedantic is usually a good thing ;). I do see your point however. Sincerely, Joshua D.
