I'll be trying to install postgres 8.0b1/b4; when I make the config a
message appear:

"configure: error: readline library not found"

$ rpm -qa | grep readline
libreadline4-4.3-7mdk
libreadline4-devel-4.3-7mdk

Then I try;

$ ./configure --with-libraries=/lib --with-includes=/usr/include/readline
(where the libs are)

I read a message from Tom Lane talking about termcap, it's installed too.

The same problem occurs with zlib.

I fix it skipping both libs with

../configure --without-readline --without-zlib

but...

Try looking at the config.log output in the part where it's trying to
find readline (should be near the end); the link error messages may be
enlightening. If not, try "ldd" on the readline library file to see
what its dependencies are --- the best theory I have is that you are
missing some library it requires. (It ain't necessarily termcap.)
Of course if you are this would indicate a packaging mistake for
libreadline, because it should have had an RPM dependency on whatever
it needs.

I'll be trying to install postgres 8.0b1/b4; when I make the config a
message appear:

running MDK 10.0, but no problem here (and never had).
"configure: error: readline library not found"

$ rpm -qa | grep readline
libreadline4-4.3-7mdk
libreadline4-devel-4.3-7mdk

Then I try;

$ ./configure --with-libraries=/lib --with-includes=/usr/include/readline
(where the libs are)

Try running "ldconfig" and look if /lib contains valid links to
libreadline.so.4(.3). Also try ldconfig -p to examine the linker cache
then. /lib looks like this on my MDK 10.0 installation then:

libreadline.so -> libreadline.so.4.3
libreadline.so.4 -> libreadline.so.4.3
libreadline.so.4.1 -> ../lib/libreadline.so.4
libreadline.so.4.2 -> ../lib/libreadline.so.4
libreadline.so.4.3

[...]

Hi,

I have the same problem and I solved it. This question then was asked
and I answer it. Try looking at the google and you will find it.
In general - Open the package manager and searche for keyword "redline".
The neccessary library will apper and you just will have to install it.

Regards,

Kaloyan
