Thread: Read line feature
Hello, I am trying to install postgresql 7.1 on an OpenBSD 2.8 with Readline 4.1 with the following command: ./configure --with-perl --with-includes=/usr/local/include/readline --with-libs=/usr/local/lib ( I did check for the presence of libreadline.a and libhistory.a) and I did try with this one too: ./configure --with-perl --with-includes=/usr/local/include --with-libs=/usr/local/lib Everything goes perfect the database is installed and everything works except the history feature. I did create a .psql_history in the /home/postgres but it doesn't look like it's working. Any help would be greatly appreciated, Dorin

You need the header files too (readline.h etc). Does configure find
them?

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Try just --with-includes=/usr/local/include. It shouldn't be necessary
to point it directly at the readline subdirectory.

Seems odd that you would have readline.h and not history.h. What
version of libreadline do you have installed, anyway?

Did you remove config.status first? You're just getting cached
results from the prior run AFAICS.

That was it. :) Than you very much Tom.
