PostgreSQL 7.1.3 Installation Problem
I am trying to install PostgreSQL version 7.1.3 on a Win98 platform. The configuration step completes without incident but when I run make, I get the following error messages.
-L ../../src/interfaces/libpq -lpq -L/usr/local/lib -g -lz -lcrypt -lreadline -lcygipc -o psql
tab-complete.o(.text+0x2a36):tab-complete.c:undefined reference to 'filename_completion_function'
Collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make[3]:***[psql] Error 1
make[3]:Leaving directory '/usr/src/postgresql-7.1.3/src/bin/psql'
make[2]:***[all] Error 2
make[2]:Leaving directory '/usr/src/postgresql-7.1.3/src/bin'
make[1]:***[all] Error 2
make[1]:Leaving directory '/usr/src/postgresql-7.1.3/src'
make: *** [all] Error 2
Can anybody tell me what is wrong and what I should do to correct it.
Thanks,
Emmanuel

You may need a newer or different version of libreadline.

Tom,
The version of readline I used is the latest (i.e. version 4.2-3). I got a
new copy from another source but I still got the same error messages. Do you
think an older version will work?

Emmanuel Asante

Hmm, maybe. The readline boys have a bad habit of making incompatible
API changes with every release :-(. I know we had it working with all
readline releases up through a few months ago, but maybe they've
zigzagged again. Could you try it with 4.2 or before? If it works that
way then I'll try to figure out what they changed...
