Re: Performance Test for PostgreSQL9

Yes, true now it looks like pg-general. I started out this discussion
because I couldn't get Performance Testing done. But looks like the
performance cannot be done due to the tool cannot be built...:) and all
evils are getting unleashed from this..

OK, I did exactly to move to the top of the directory and run the
./configure first. Everything work until the last time it reports error
now....

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
checking for -lreadline... no
checking for -ledit... no
configure: error: readline library not found
If you have readline already installed, see config.log for details on the
failure. It is possible the compiler isn't looking in the proper directory.
Use --without-readline to disable readline support.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I tried man readline and man edit, there seem to manuals on it. I checked
the Synaptic Manager. There seem to be a package called readline-common. I
then search the net for some assistance. Looks like there was another guy
who had a similar problem like me. The URL is
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1638949

So I tried installing 'readline' using

->sudo apt-cache search readline
AND
->sudo apt-get install libreadline6 libreadline6-dev

Upon answering 'y' to install without verification, I get Bad Gateway error.

Install these packages without verification [y/N]? y

Looks like I'm stuck at this level. Please assist to breakaway....

Thank you.
