Yeah, that's the thing that fails when I run ./config of the
postgres7.3.3 build under Mandrake 7.3 .

ld checks libreadline.so for various calls and then bails.
libreadline is a symlink to the lastest version of libreadline
which appears to have dropped ncurses from the build for some
reason. (proprietary code in ncurses...???)

I'll try it today and let the list know how it goes.

Thanks for your help,
