That falls out of the GNU Readline system, which must also be
installed.

It may be handy for you to know what sorts of things we have found
useful to compile and install in addition to PostgreSQL on AIX:

1. GNU readline 5.0
2. zlib 1.2.1
3. GNU Make 3.8.0
4. m4 1.4
5. GNU flex 2.5.4
6. GNU Bison 1.875

I can't warrant that that is all you'll ever need, but it will
probably do for now...
