Hello,
This is a re-post, as it seems the mail didn't appear.
I want to recompile only psql with the readline library. When I
installed PG, GNU readline package was not there. Now db is running
fine, and I don't want to disturb it. I tried doing this but things
got messed up. Can anybody point me to the brief steps to do this.
Thanks in advance.

./configure
cd src/bin/psql
make
# as root ...
make install

Cheers,

Neil

Hi,
Thanks for the reply. I had to change the way though. I followed:
./configure
gmake -C src/bin/psql
gmake install -C src/bin/psql

cd'ing to src/bin/psql was giving the following error:
make: Fatal error in reader: ../../../src/Makefile.global, line 24:
Illegal dependencies for target `.SILENT'

Thanks anyway for the clue.
Regards.

I had the same problem. I simply compiled the whole postgres stuff but
didn't "make install". Instead I copied psql to /home/pgsql/bin
manually.
