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
