Thread: 9.0-beta3: configure 64-bit reports readline not found
[TEST REPORT]
[Release]: 9.0Beta3
[Test Type]: ./configure Source...
[Test]: Attempted ./configure on 9.0-beta3 source tree with various options...
[Platform]: Solaris 10 Sun4u Ultra Enterprise 450 Quad
[Parameters]:
./configure
CC='gcc -m64'
--with-openssl
[Failure]: Yes
[Results]:
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.
-LOG OUTPUT:
checking for library containing crypt... none required
...
checking for -lreadline... no
[Comments]: Better to call this a 'report' rather than a 'failure'; we do have readline on this system (though probably a 32-bit version). If 64-bit PostgreSQL requires a 64-bit build of readline, and if checking for a 64-bit readline is an intended new behavior of the configure script, then this report should be considered only an 'FYI' for the next tester...

It does. That's why installing on 64-bit Windows is so hard. And no, I
don't know where you can get a 64-bit readline on Solaris, IIRC, we just
disabled it at Sun.
