Re: psql command history

I'm not too familiar with Suse, but just had this problem on very
customized Mandrake install. I found that installing readline,
readline-devel, libtermcap then doing make clean, configure, make, make
install again and voila history works.

I think it was Alvaro (can't get to the list right now) who give me the
hint about libtermcap.

Check through your config.log and config.cache and if libtermcap or the
readline hints above don't solve the problem, then post them to the
list.
