Yes I did remove config.cache, this was not the problem see below.

I have managed to get the cursors working with readline-4.1.tar.gz. I have
one question and one suggestion.
1. Is it documented that readline-4.1 is a requirement for postgresql v7.1
in order to use the cursors?
2. Can the below steps be placed in the FAQ as I'm sure I was not the only
person who had/has this problem.
01. wget ftp://sunsite.cnlab-switch.ch/mirror/stampede/unstable/pre-0.90/clean-source/base/readline-4.1.tar.gz
02. rpm -e --nodeps `rpm -qa | grep readline`
03. tar -zxf readline-4.1.tar.gz
04. cd readline-4.1
05. ./configure
06. make
07. make install
08. make install-headers
09. mv readline-4.1 /usr/local/src
10. Make sure sure /usr/local/include is in /etc/ld.so.conf and re-run
/sbin/ldconfig. Then continue on with your postgresql configuration
and installation, making sure you stop any currently running
postgresql processes before `make install`.
Thanks for your time Tom.
