Thread: Readline causing grief in build
Hi!
I'm very new with this list and postgresql databases and having major
trouble trying to build this thing. Every attempt I make gives ends
with the following message:
<<begin error>
...
checking for readline... no
configure: error: readline library not found
If you have readline already installed, see config.log for details on
the
failure. It is possible the compiler isn't looking in the proper
directory.
Use --without-readline to disable readline support.
<<end error>
OK, look at the config.log file for details. I can handle that (or so
I thought). It looks like the configure script is trying to compile a
test program, but all it shows is:
<<begin config.log snip>

Hmmm. I don't get it. Here's the particulars:
OS: Mac OSX.2.3 (Latest Jaguar)
GCC: 3.1 {Thread model: posix
Apple Computer, Inc. GCC version 1161, based on gcc version 3.1
20020420 (prerelease)}
ANT: 1.5.1
I swear readline is there, located at
/System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/readline.framework/Version/A. Am I
just missing something very elementary? My head is bleeding from
smashing it against this problem and I'm hoping someone here has some
Excedrin (TM) to help.
TIA for any suggestions anyone may have.

Does the linker know to look for it there? Unless Apple is providing a
very customized version of gcc/ld, I'd bet not. You probably need
something along the lines of --with-libraries, but I've never tried to
do that on OS X ...

You need to download the readline library from Fink. I agree, there oughta be another way ... and there is. Download the binary as a standard OS X package from Marc Liyanage's website at http://www.entropy.ch/software/macosx/postgresql/ On Friday, December 20, 2002, at 06:58 PM, Dave Stewart wrote: > Hi! > > I'm very new with this list and postgresql databases and having major > trouble trying to build this thing.

Thanks are in order ... First off to Tom Lane for the "excedrin" that I asked for, although it wasn't working for me as quickly as I liked (read "I had to think"). Using --with-libraries seemed to be throwing different errors, in fact it wasn't getting as far as it was without that option (I must be missing something elementary about this library, I've only been playing on a Mac for a year and it's very different than a Windows box. If it wasn't for the Darwin core I'd still be lost!). Most especially, thanks to David Oshel for the "vicodan" that I really wanted. The OSX binary was just what I needed. Any ideas if it will be this easy to install on OSX Server? That will be next, once I have set up what I need OMM and am ready to move it over. Now to learn how to work this crazy thing (read "You'll hear from me again"). Happy holidays to all! On Friday, December 20, 2002, at 06:59 PM, David C.
