Hello,

I hope this is the right place to ask for installation help...

Ok I followed the Installation steps and stuck with compiling or better with the configuration
of the environment.... I can start ./configure but then it'll tell me that I don't have installed
the readline libraries.. So I've searched the web and downloaded the latest source code of
the readline libraries and followed the steps of it's Installation manual..

Which version of readline do I need to compile the postgres sources sucessfull ??
I've downloaded and installed version 5.0 ...

The files of readline can be found in: /usr/local/lib, /usr/local/include etc.

when I try to tell configure with the parameter "--with-libraries=/usr/local/lib" where it can find
the libraries it won't work too... so what am I doing wrong ?!?

I know it's possible to compile without the readline libraries but I want to compile with them...

I'm using Suse Linux 9.0...

THX

Try installing the readline and readline-devel RPMs that came with SuSE 9.0.
That works for me.

If you don't have the SuSE installation media readily available, you can get
the RPMs here (assuming your server is running on an Intel 32-bit platform):

ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/i386/9.0...3-212.i586.rpm
ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/i386/9.0...3-212.i586.rpm

Should work.

You also need something like "--with-includes=/usr/local/include"

Hmm, when using gcc I'd expect it to look in /usr/local without any
prodding. Define "won't work" --- what happens exactly when you
run configure? If it fails at one of the readline probing steps,
let's see the corresponding part of config.log, not just the terminal
output.

TIP 5: Have you checked our extensive FAQ?

I know I've tried it with both parameters too but without luck....

Ok, I've uploaded the complete log file on my webspace you can find it here:

http://www.darkcloud14.de/config.log

Maybe someone of you know what else could be the problem..

Ohh and no I haven't tried Suses RPM files yet... (it's an old version ;-) )

Looks like you are missing libtermcap (or one of its substitutes such as
libcurses). Not sure how you managed to build libreadline without the
required other library, but that's what the error messages say.
