So you're thinking "error out unless user said --without-zlib or
--without-readline"?
I could live with that, assuming that the error message mentioned that
switch as the way to build without the library.

Or --my_cursor_keys_will_never_work_in_psql. :-) Not sure if they are going to make the connection between --without-readline and psql cursor keys. -- Bruce Momjian | http://candle.pha.pa.us pgman@candle.pha.pa.us | (610) 853-3000+ If your life is a hard drive, | 830 Blythe Avenue + Christ can be your backup. | Drexel Hill, Pennsylvania19026

What I have seen some packages do is to report unusual configure findings just a configure exits. Something like: Your psql cursor keys will not work because readline wasn't found or something like that for zlib. Added to TODO: * Report failure to find readline or zlib at end of configure run -- Bruce Momjian | http://candle.pha.pa.us pgman@candle.pha.pa.us | (610) 853-3000+ If your life is a hard drive, | 830 Blythe Avenue + Christ can be your backup. | Drexel Hill, Pennsylvania19026

Peter will certainly not consider that an acceptable answer, since it
helps not at all for non-interactive builds.

Hopefully the people who are doing auto builds have done them manually a few times first! To take it a bit further though, you could perhaps have it refuse to continue beyond that without an explicit configure option. That would then stop the auto build as well.
