   Sod's Law, isn't it?
   
   The minute you report a bug, you find a workaround.
   
   In this case, disabling readline starts up the client OK.
   
   (That'd be :
   
   [postgres@cartman pgsql]$ psql -n -d honeypi
   Welcome to psql, the PostgreSQL interactive terminal.
   
   Type:  \copyright for distribution terms
          \h for help with SQL commands
          \? for help on internal slash commands
          \g or terminate with semicolon to execute query
          \q to quit
   
   honeypi=#
   
   )
   Thanks - could probably do with fixing , though?
   I'll try upgrading readline on this system ,and see what happens.
   Cheers.

   I was just going to suggest that.  Did you compile Postgres from source,
   or is this an assemblage of RPMs?  There have been enough different
   versions of libreadline distributed that I wouldn't be surprised to find
   out that our RPMs are not compatible with some of 'em.  But I dunno
   whether the RPMs are marked with sufficiently tight dependency info.
   
   If you find that a newer libreadline fixes it, we'd like to know what
   the old and new libreadline versions are ...

   Oh, nooo. I learnt *that* lesson long ago....
   This was a build from source, latest stable 7.0.3 (?)

   It did. 
   
   The offender was readline-4.0.1
   (to be fair I don't think it's the default on 6.1 - STR upgrading it to
   fix *another* bug while installing gnome-1.2)
   
   Installing 4.1 fixed it.

   Odd.  I'm using 4.0 here without any difficulty, and I don't recall
   anyone reporting similar problems with recent readlines (I was afraid
   you had a 2.something version...).  Has anyone else seen a problem with
   4.0.1?

   We just ran across a problem with 3.x vs 4.x libraries when installing
   an RPM package for another project.
   
   There were a few unresolved symbols in 4.0 that seem to be available in
   another library, but I haven't heard how we finally resolved it.
   
   Is this related to your symptom?
