1. Install Problem

   condlej@chplink.chp.edu — 2001-08-30T17:31:15Z

   I have narrowed my install problem to as follows:
   I am running Solaris 2.7
   I am running Postgresql -7.1.2
   My installation fails right after running ./configure right after untar the
   distribution.
   
   From what I can read from the log  it fails at
   gcc -o conftest conftest.c -lreadline
   ld: fatal: library -readline: not found
   
   I then ran it with --without-readline as was suggested in another post.
   
   I then get this error
   Undefined           first referenced
    symbol                  in file
   optreset                /var/tmp/cc8bnjqR.p
   ld: fatal : Symbol referencing errors. No output written to conftest
   
   The last two days have been my first experiance with postgreql.  I am more
   familiar with Oracle.  Please help have been all over the net looking for help
   on this.

   right, you should run off to gnu.org and pull down and compile the
   readline library
   
   or i think you can turn it off in the configure script
   
   check 
   
   configure --help 
   
   for current options
   
   though in my opinion you'll want readline support in "psql"  its nice
   being able to scroll back and have line-edit capabilities (including
   completion!)
