It looks like libreadline (which you installed earlier) was built
using o32, whatever that is, and that is different from n32. Try
rebuilding libreadline or build all of postgres with using o32.

Another option is to explicitly disable using readline; look in
config.h or figure out how to disable it using configure.

Good luck.
