Обсуждение: Mac OS 10.3 Panther make questions
I am trying to get PostgreSQL 7.4.1 to make with Mac OS 10.3 I run configure which complains about readline. I'm not sure how Apple compiled bash which is the new default shell but I can't find the library or headers either. I have installed Xcode and found a few notes online about postgres 7.3.4 and OS 10.2 which talk about making readline and using the /sw directory which does not exist on system. Does anybody know what I am missing? Thank you in advance for any help Kevin Barnard
Kevin, The /sw directory is created by fink (http://fink.sourceforge.net/) which you may want to install. It's a debian-ish packaging system designed for bringing open-source programs to Mac OS X. I believe PostgreSQL is available as a fink package as well, but it may not be recent. Readline is available, and this may be the way to go if you can't get readline to compile on its own.

You can compile without it (--without-readline). If you don't plan on using psql much it won't make any difference.

There isn't anything difficult about installing readline from source
on Panther. Untar, configure, make, sudo make install.
Alternatively you can just configure postgres --without-readline.
psql is a lot less pleasant to use without it, but if you don't
use psql much you may not care.

There nay be something I'm missing about why you're compiling from source, but I'm having a great time with the binary package from here... http://www.entropy.ch/software/macosx/postgresql/ It's 7.4, not 7.4.1 so I guess that may be why - but all the complicated bits are done and it works well! No dependencies on fink or anything else (yeah i know, it includes a copy of everything, wasteful but lets me get my job done...)

I keep getting the following link error warning -dylib_install_name /usr/local/lib/libreadline.4.3.dylib not found in segment address table LD_SEG_ADDR_TABLE /sw/var/lib/fink/prebound/seg_addr_table This is really a readline issue not a postgres issue. I will be using psql quite often thus readline is very key to my sanity. :-) I was able to compile the fink version so for now I'll just use that and of course postgres configure is happy with it. It just doesn't make sense that Apple would take the time to build bash and not bother to include the readline library. I wonder if they've modified readline a little and therefore use a static version. I guess I could go look at the source in Darwin and see. Even with all of this trouble I still think OS X beats a cygwined Windows for a client machine. Thanks again everyone for your help.

Hmph. I can tell you that readline builds fine for me on a fink-less
machine. The above looks like some sort of unfortunate interaction
between readline and some part of fink, but I dunno what. Anyway,
as long as fink's version of readline works for you, it doesn't seem
like our problem to chase.

Yeah, mighty annoying that ... maybe they can't because readline is GPL
not LGPL? The functionality inside their bash may come from some other
code, like the BSD libedit.

Only occasionally do I miss it. The cut&paste in the Terminal suffices for most things.
