Hello list,
I've got a problem installing postgres on my Linux machine. The Linux Version is Suse 9.1 and had a 7.4 postgres-version installed. Now I wanted to update to 8.1.3 using the source files, when I run into the following problem after using the ./configure - command.
The running of the script failed saying I have to get "readline" on my system working. Well, "readline" is already installed, in Version 4.3. There are new Versions out (5), but not for Suse 9.1. So I don't know what to do now. I know that I can run the configure-script with the option without-readline, but before I do so I would like to know what readline is for and - if I run installation without readline -, what features won't work on my database server.
So please list, make me a little smarter!
Thanks in advance,
Moritz
