Re: Unresolved external: tgetent

I did 8.0.0rc1 - same behavior
psql template1
Welcome to psql 8.0.0rc1, the PostgreSQL interactive terminal.

Type: \copyright for distribution terms
\h for help with SQL commands
\? for help with psql commands
\g or terminate with semicolon to execute query
\q to quit

/usr/lib/dld.sl: Unresolved symbol: tgetent (code) from
/usr/local/...libreadline.sl.5
Abort(coredump)

Furthermore, the regression test fails badly on
parallel group (20 tests): point lseg
running forever. The process list shows
ps -fu rodos

If this is of any help ...
If I can do anything else, let me know.
