There are a few pre-compiled binaries out on the net for this if that
works for you.  I had a bear of a time getting it working and went to
the binary.

In lieu of using the binary here is a set of instructions for compiling
your own.  good luck.

You can download and install 7.2.2 from fink

fink.sourceforge.net

Or you can download 7.3b2 from the postgresql site. It compiled fine on my
machine (jaguar)

In PSQL, readline lets you use the "up arrow" key to re-run your
previous commands, and tab to auto-complete table names.   That's all
it does.

Very useful if you're a heavy PSQL user, but dispensable if you intend
to use a GUI for database interaction.
