Re: command-line history (readline) fails

Thanks Larry... fwiw this is my output.

$ ldd psql
libpq.so.2 => /usr/local/pgsql/lib/libpq.so.2 (0x40013000)
libcrypt.so.1 => /lib/libcrypt.so.1 (0x400f2000)
libresolv.so.2 => /lib/libresolv.so.2 (0x4011f000)
libnsl.so.1 => /lib/libnsl.so.1 (0x4012f000)
libdl.so.2 => /lib/libdl.so.2 (0x40143000)
libm.so.6 => /lib/libm.so.6 (0x40146000)
libhistory.so.4 => /lib/libhistory.so.4 (0x40167000)
libc.so.6 => /lib/libc.so.6 (0x4016f000)
/lib/ld-linux.so.2 => /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0x40000000)

I didn't install any readline-devel - just the readline4.3 tarball from gnu.org
I just ran configure, make, make install from default. It doesn't look like postgresql picked up that it had been installed.

Am I doing something completely wrong? (the instructions were just to install readline before compiling postgresql). Are there any step-by-step instructions for this, or should it work out of the box?

regards,
/j-p.
