Are people still compiling against libedit and then redirecting to libreadline at runtime? I seem to recall some discussion about this being a thing, many years ago. If it were being done it would be advantageous to have the checks be runtime rather than compile-time, although I guess that would probably be tough to make work. -- Robert Haas EnterpriseDB: http://www.enterprisedb.com The Enterprise PostgreSQL Company
