I am trying to do an installation from source of PostgreSQL into Suse 9.2 Professional. This is the first thing I've done with this distro. Configure fails, reporting that it cannot find the readline library, although it seems to be present in /lib
Running ./configure as root, I get:
checking for shmget in -lcygipc... no checking for readline... no configure: error: readline library not found If you have readline already installed, see config.log for details on the failure. It is possible the compiler isn't looking in the proper directory. ....
The first step is to look at the config.log file for details. But I bet the reason is that you don't have the development headers installed. Install the readline-devel package and try again. Same for zlib (zlib-devel).
