Greetings. I am trying to compile a program that requires readline (postgresql), which I installed vi dselect, and which appears to be located under /sw/include/readline. The configure script for postgres will insist though that it can't find readline even though I specified the include path as /sw/include. Now I found a posting through google where someone seemed to have the same problem, which suggested that I rebuild readline via
# fink rebuild readline which will however tell me: Failed: no package found for specification 'readline'! I tried to download the package via # fink fetch readline which gives the same error as above. Then I did download readline manually from http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/fink/direct_download/source and copied the .tar.gz file to /sw/src and tried # fink list or # fink describe readline which will always give the error that the package ain't there. Then I tried to install readline manually via ./configure, make, make install which gives the error libtool: unrecognized option `-dynamic' Try `libtool --help' for more information. make[1]: *** [libreadline.4.2.dylib] Error 1 make: [install] Error 2 (ignored) Ok. So I downloaded libtool-1.4.2.tar.gz from the location above, and tried to install that manually (thinking that maybe OS X's libtool was too old) which yields ranlib: warning: cannot infer operation mode from `/usr/lib/libltdl.a' ranlib: you must specify a MODE Try `ranlib --help' for more information. make[2]: *** [install-libLTLIBRARIES] Error 1 make[1]: *** [install-am] Error 2 make: *** [install-recursive] Error 1 Then I gave up. Any ideas?
