Problem compiling 7.3

I downloaded and tried compiling 7.3 with the following
configuration line:

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

which is the same way I compiled and installed 7.2.
However, 7.3 is having problems and gives me the following error:

----------------------
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.
-----------------------

I looked in the config.log file but it didn't tell me (a newbie) anything
very useful to help me try to find from where my problem is stemming.

Also, I do have readline installed. When running "rpm -q -l readline", I
get the following:

----------------------
/usr/lib/libhistory.so.4
/usr/lib/libhistory.so.4.2
/usr/lib/libreadline.so.4
/usr/lib/libreadline.so.4.2
/usr/share/info/history.info.gz
/usr/share/info/readline.info.gz
/usr/share/info/rluserman.info.gz
/usr/share/man/man3/history.3.gz
/usr/share/man/man3/readline.3.gz
----------------------

And checking the rpmfind.net site, it appears that I have the latest
version of readline: readline-4.2a-4.

So ok, I then go and change the configure command line to read:

./configure --with-perl --enable-syslog --with-libraries=/usr/lib \
--with-includes=/usr/lib

but still no joy.
What's going on. What can I look at/into to try to figure out what my
problem is. I'm just looking for some hints/pointers as opposed to an
outright answer so I can try to figure out/fix this myself. There's no
better way to learn. :p My only problem is I just don't know where to
look.

thnx,
Chris

Do you have readline-devel installed?

Re: Problem compiling 7.3

On solaris, with readline package installed, I get the same error... I
try with "--with-include=/usr/local/include/readline" but didn't work
too.

TIP 2: you can get off all lists at once with the unregister command
(send "unregister YourEmailAddressHere" to
majordomo@postgresql.org)

again, you also need -devel for this.
This is the same with zlib and every other lib you want to compile
your programs against.
