Thread: Readline alledgedly non-existant.
I'm trying to compile PostGreql 7.4.6 on SuSE 9.2 configure is claiming that readline (or some associated libraries) don't exist, when they plainly do. I can clearly see them in /lib (which is where libreadline is) but gcc/configure don't/can't use them. I've tried putting --with-libraries=/lib as a parameter to configure, but no joy :-( I'm not using any other parameters to configure. Can anyone help ? Thanks, GTG

Have you installed the readline-devel package? -- Peter Eisentraut http://developer.postgresql.org/~petere/
There was me niavely thinking that having the library and headers would be enoguh. That fixed it.

I'm just curious, what is in that package? On Dec 21, 2004, at 8:12 AM, Gordon Ross wrote: > There was me niavely thinking that having the library and headers > would be enoguh.
