I assume you mean 7.2.3 ...

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

Dear All,
    When I configuring the prosgresql again. the following appears:

    ...
    checking for readline... (cached) no
    ...
    checking for readline/readline.h... (cached) yes
    checking for readline/history.h... (cached) yes
    ...

    What happened?

Regards,
Alex

Cached?  Maybe you need to remove config.cache before rerunning
configure.
