Auto completion in psql
How does line completion gets to psql?
At my FreeBSD machines when I build the PostgreSQL port I have always had
line completion. Now I need to do some work on a Linux SUSE machine (which
I don't administer) and psql doesn't have line completion.
The person that manages the machine installed from sources.

You probably need readline-devel package installed at compile time.

It needs to be (re)compiled with readline support, and you will
need the readline headers (SuSE provides a readline-devel rpm).
