I think this (from the Fink FAQ) should help you. It worked for me.

Q6.4: How do I compile something myself using fink-installed software?

A: When compiling something yourself outside of fink, the compiler
and linker need to be told where to find the fink-installed
libraries and headers. For a package that uses standard
configure/make process, you need to set the CFLAGS, CPPFLAGS,
CXXFLAGS, and LDFLAGS environment variables:

setenv CFLAGS -I/sw/include
setenv LDFLAGS -L/sw/lib
setenv CXXFLAGS $CFLAGS
setenv CPPFLAGS $CXXFLAGS

It is often easiest just to add these to your .tcshrc or .cshrc so
they are set automatically. If a package does not use these
variables, you may need to add the "-I/sw/include" (for headers)
and "-L/sw/lib" (for libraries) to the compile lines yourself.
Some packages may use similar non-standard variables such as
EXTRA_CFLAGS or --with-qt-dir= configure options. "./configure
--help" will usually give you a list of the extra configure
options.

Check out the distribution at

http://www.entropy.ch/software/macosx/postgresql/

It does come with readline.

I'm sure there are those who think highly of Fink, but I have to say that
-- speaking personally -- I was seriously grossed out that they expected me
to be root just to download something.

This worked for me...

./configure --with-libs=/sw/lib --with-includes=/sw/include

After reading this:

http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=postgresql-general&amp;m=103886532224699&amp;w=2

It looks like some of you out there have successfully installed
postgresql on OS X with readline support. I have installed readline via
Fink but the compiler can't find it. How do I tell it where to look?
