Very Computer

Hello,

I have seen a number of links via google describing build problems
(./configure)
with postgres and libreadline.so .

How do I go about resolving the undefined ncurses references in libreadline?
I have Mandrake Linux.

Thanks for the help

Did you install the readline-devel?

Yeah, that's the thing that fails when I run ./config of the
postgres7.3.3 build under Mandrake 7.3 .

ld checks libreadline.so for various calls and then bails.
libreadline is a symlink to the lastest version of libreadline
which appears to have dropped ncurses from the build for some
reason. (proprietary code in ncurses...???)

I guess I could do that.
I'll try it today and let the list know how it goes.

Thanks for your help,
