Hi!
Use RH Linux90.
Try configure postgresql-7.4.1

Type ./configure

Error is
checking for readline... no
configure: error: readline library not found
If you have readline already installed, see config.log for details on the
failure. It is possible the compiler isn't looking in the proper directory.
Use --without-readline to disable readline support.

But I want use readline

This is config.log

Have installed readline-4.3-5, readline41-4.1-16, readline-devel-4.3-5
Thank you.

It works for me on a stock RHL 9 machine (or I think it's stock, anyway,
it's not my machine...).

This machine has

$ rpm -qa | grep readline
readline-4.3-5
readline-devel-4.3-5
$

Maybe the presence of two different readline versions is confusing
matters on your machine?
