Hi,
Does anybody know what this unusual error from the src.rpm build mean?
It's bailing at the readline check and inclusion.

I'm running readline/readline-devel 4.2a-4. In fact, I've just
reinstalled my system today, and thought now would be a good time to
goto Postgresql 7.3.
I'm running RH Linux 7.3, Kernel 2.4.18-18.7.x, and haven't really done
anything particularly unusual.

Other than doing a rebuild with --without-readline. I was hoping
somebody might give me a pointer.

It's not pickup up the ncurses stuff. This should have been taken
care of during configure, but you can probably force it to work
if you get -lncurses, -L/path/to/ncurses/libs and
-I/path/to/ncurses/headers in there.

Ah ha. Thanks for that. I discovered this not long after posting the
message. duh! ;-)

I had ncurses installed, but not ncurses-devel. Which after installing
allowed the build to proceed okay.

Perhaps it would be wise ncurses-devel to the build pre-reqs of the RPM.

Thanks for your quick reply.

Hadley.
