As far as i Know libreadline is a library file that comes with gcc. (
But don't quote me on that)
On my solaris 8 box it is insalled in /opt/sfw/lib. But there is a link
from libreadline.so set to libreadline.so.4
you could try making this link and setting the LD_LIBRARY_PATH to the
directory with the link.
I got the exact error you did before. It's just a library path error.
Postgres can't find the correct library to load.
