I suspected something like that after the results of a Google
search (before posting here) --- I tried termcap-devel, and it
tells me that there's no such package;  then I noticed that
there is the package termcap, and also libtermcap, with the
accompanying libtermcap-devel.

Turns out that, as Greg pointed out, it was the missing
ncurses-devel.

Strangely enough, the little dummy test program still reports
the exact same errors when compiling with -lreadline.   But
PostgreSQL's configure script now runs successfully!


Thanks, and thanks Greg for the valuable tip !
