Re: readline configure error again.. Problem solved

Ok, after some more fiddling and something I spotted on an R mailing list...
I had built readline, but not as a shared library... So building readline
thus

./configure
make
make install
make shared
make install-shared

and then

./configure --with-perl --prefix=/usr/local/pgsql7.3.1
--with-libs=/usr/local/lib --with-includes=/usr/local/include

... make ... etc

for postgresql, everything worked ok.

Thanks
