This recent change to readline/libedit selection isn't quite right. http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-committers/2004-11/msg00330.php
It doesn't link in libtermcap with libedit which leads to: checking for readline.h... no configure: error: readline header not found If you have libedit already installed, see config.log for details on the failure. It is possible the compiler isn't looking in the proper directory. Use --without-readline to disable libedit support. And in config.log: configure:5987: gcc -o conftest -O2 -Wall -Wmissing-prototypes -Wpointer-arith -fno-strict-aliasing conftest.c -ledit -lcrypt -lresolv -lcompat -lm -lutil >&5 /usr/lib/libedit.so: undefined reference to `tgetnum' /usr/lib/libedit.so: undefined reference to `tgoto' /usr/lib/libedit.so: undefined reference to `tgetflag' /usr/lib/libedit.so: undefined reference to `tputs' /usr/lib/libedit.so: undefined reference to `tgetent' /usr/lib/libedit.so: undefined reference to `tgetstr' This is on x86 NetBSD 1.6.
