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?

Regards, Frank
