The following bug has been logged online: Bug reference: 1866 Logged by: Bob Friesenhahn Email address: [EMAIL PROTECTED] PostgreSQL version: 7.4.8 Operating system: Solaris 9 (SPARC) Description: -lreadline needs -lcurses under Solaris. Details:
The Postgres configure script finds the readline 5.0 headers and decides that readline is available (in spite of many individual errors while testing for functions in config.log). The end result is that postgres is built as if readline is available but neither -lreadline or -lcurses is applied when linking psql so it fails to link. Manually adding -lreadline -lcurses while linking pgsql results in a successful link, possibly with reduced functionality. ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 1: if posting/reading through Usenet, please send an appropriate subscribe-nomail command to [EMAIL PROTECTED] so that your message can get through to the mailing list cleanly
