Psql 9.4 with server 9.4 doesn't auto complete table names

Hi on 9.1 the psql did auto complete for tables. I've removed 9.1 and
installed 9.4 and the auto complete doesn't work.

Any idea what I need to check?

How did you install it? Did you configure and compile it yourself, locally?
If so, what did your ./configure look like? If not, how did you do it?
Perhaps it was configured with the --without-readline switch set. I found
that, on 9.3.5, that if I start psql normally (no switches), then a <tab>
does the table completion (as normal). But if I do "psql -n" to turn off
readline, then a <tab> just puts in a tab. I hope this might be of some
help, though I don't really see how.

Well if you followed the above exactly, I do not see where it downloads
postgresql-client, which provides psql. Best guess is you are using the
9.1 version of psql to connect to a 9.4 server. I would apt-get install
postgresql-client and see if that helps.
