Hello,

I'm trying to install PostgreSQL 7.3.2 on a Linux Mandrake 8.1 server,
when I run ./configure, I am getting the following error message :

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.
[root@pain postgresql-7.3.2]#

I've upgraded readline to the latest readline rpm, but ./configure is
still giving this error message...

How can I get ./configure to find the readline on my machine in order to
be allowed to go to the next step in the installation of PostgreSQL
7.3.2 ?

Thanks in advance ! :-)

You need the readline-devel package installed in order to compile
software that uses readline.
