Re: 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?

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?
