installation of readline 4.2

After installing the readline library 4.2 on my solaris box, I want to =
reconfigure the postgresql v4.2.3.

I assume you mean 7.2.3 ...

I have tried to configure like following:
./configure --enable-readline

There is no --enable-readline in 7.2.3 (consult configure --help for the
definitive list of options recognized by any particular configure
script).

I suspect that you failed to follow through on rebuilding and
reinstalling Postgres after reconfiguring. Try
./configure
-- make *sure* configure output shows that it found readline,
-- both library and header files
make clean
make all
make install

Dear All,
When I configuring the prosgresql again. the following appears:

...
checking for readline... (cached) no
...
checking for readline/readline.h... (cached) yes
checking for readline/history.h... (cached) yes
...

What happened?

Regards,
Alex

Cached? Maybe you need to remove config.cache before rerunning
configure.
