Do you have readline installed?

It's not standard on Solaris.  I don't know if it's even available from 
Blastwave.

Apparently not.  Of course it could be in some strange place where 
neither I nor the configure script can find it.  Solaris is like that. 
I don't run postgresql on Solaris, I just happened to have a Solaris box 
  on which I could test compile the beta, and I'm reporting the results.

Apparently it is.

http://www.blastwave.org/packages.php/readline

postgresql is listed as one of the packages that depends on readline.

Anyway I installed the readline package from blastwave but the configure 
script still didn't find it.

I had to install a private copy of readline on buildfarm hyena to get it 
working there.

Where does blastwave put it?  You likely need --with-includes and/or
--with=libraries switches to tell configure where to look.

blastwave installs packages in /opt/csw -- so you have to point 
configure to the directory if you are going to use that package -- I 
usually use the packages from sunfreeware.com which installs in /usr/local.

If I run:

./configure --enable-debug --with-cassert 
--with-includes=/opt/csw/include --with-libraries=/opt/csw/lib

it gets past the readline problem, but fails later with:

checking for _LARGEFILE_SOURCE value needed for large files... no
checking for fseeko... (cached) yes
checking test program... failed
configure: error:

I had similar issues, which is why I installed a private copy of readline.

    Joseph,

How about just compiling --without-readline?

Also, if you have Sun Studio 11 available, you'll get better performance 
out of your PostgreSQL.

This suggests that blastwave's version of readline needs some help, but
if you want to find out what went wrong you need to do more work than
"tail config.log".  The last several hundred lines of output in that
file will usually just be configure dumping all its internal variables
--- everything after the comment

## ---------------- ##
## Cache variables. ##
## ---------------- ##

is usually unhelpful in my experience.  You have to look at the output
from the failed test itself, just above that.

It appears that blastwave's version of readline passes the link test:

This most likely means that libreadline depends on another shared
library (termcap maybe?) that isn't installed in your default search
path; so you'd need to set LD_LIBRARY_PATH or LD_RUN_PATH --- see item 3
in our FAQ_Solaris for info.  One would think that blastwave's
documentation for the package would warn about this though.

I tend to agree with Andrew's solution of installing it in a more
standard place than /opt/csw ...

The link editor looks in different places than the run-time linker, and 
that's why you need to give extra help to the run-time linker.  It has 
nothing to do with readline, termcap, or blastwave.

That is the standard place.
