FYI: from a first time Postgresql builder:

uname -a

Linux olympia.localDomain 2.4.9-13 #1 Tue Oct 30 20:11:04 EST 2001 i686
unknown

./configure --enable-multibyte --with-java --enable-syslog --with-perl

--with-tcl

Had to add to tab-complete.h:
#include </usr/include/readline/rltypedefs.h>
#include </usr/include/readline/readline.h>

and change in the local directory Makefile from:
psql: $(OBJS) $(libpq_builddir)/libpq.a
$(CC) $(CFLAGS) $(OBJS) $(libpq) $(LDFLAGS) $(LIBS) -o $@
to:

psql: $(OBJS) $(libpq_builddir)/libpq.a
$(CC) $(CFLAGS) $(OBJS) $(libpq) $(LDFLAGS) -L/usr/lib $(LIBS)
-o $@

So that it would pick up the readline libraray

I don't believe either of those changes is necessary --- /usr/include
and /usr/lib should be searched by default. Perhaps you didn't have
libreadline installed to begin with?

readline was installed - its part of the basic RedHat 7.2 configuration.
Being a complete Postgresql beginner, I am just happy that with a couple
of changes I got it to build at all.
A different topic: which mailing list do I post questions about production
hardware selection, disk layout (table to disk), RAD, and backup hardware?

Thanks.
