Dear List
I need to build a postgres on a linux machine that I don't have root access.
I built readline from source and installed it with prefix of /home/me/local
readline library are in /home/me/local/lib and headers files are in /home/me/local/include/readline
After explicitly specfying these paths with --with-libs and with-includes postgres configure is still choking on readline.
To check that this should work, I disabled readline with --without-readline and configure chokes at zlib not found. So I install zlib from source at the same prefix. This time postgres configure finishes and then successfully built.
reading config.log is not helpful
Huh? This I find hard to believe. Whenever I've had problems with readline it was actually libtermcap that was giving me a headache. Are you sure that there's nothing in there that's pointing you to your libtermcap being .... 'wonky'
Also, try setting CFLAGS to point to your include / lib dirs (-I/path/to/include) (-L/path/to/lib)
Now if this solution works for zlib why is it not working for readline?
