Обсуждение: Configure fails to find readline libraries

I'm attempting to install 8.2x postgresql, and configure fails to find the realine libraries.

Here's my configure:

./configure --with-includes=/usr/local/include:/usr/local/include/readline --with-libraries=/usr/local/lib

Thanks, but that didn't work.  Here's the complete error result from that:

checking for -lreadline... no

checking for -ledit... no

configure: error: readline library not found

If you have readline already installed, see config.log for details on the

failure.  It is possible the compiler isn't looking in the proper directory.

Use --without-readline to disable readline support.

Hi.. thanks.

Here's a printout from my find command:

/usr/local/include/readline

/usr/local/include/readline/readline.h

And the plot thickens. Here is where it errors out and then loops endlessly until it quits:

Hi...Here's the output of that one:

ldd /usr/local/lib/libreadline.so

linux-gate.so.1 =>  (0xffffe000)

libc.so.6 => /lib/libc.so.6 (0xb7e9c000)

/lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0xb8055000)

ddev:/ # 

There are two versions of readline.  REadline 5.2 and Readline 6.0  Readline 5.2 was installed during

the suse linux installation but it never installed the readline.h file.  Go figure.

   What happens if you run 

       ldd /usr/local/lib/libreadline.so ?

      It looks like you've got either multiple versions of readline installed and you're linking to the wrong one, or something is really wonky with your readline build.  A quick google is showing that all of those symbols are in ncurses, which means that you should probably have ncurses in your linker cache or linker runtime path.

   By the way, if you don't want readline functionality in psql (or care), just build '--without-readline'
