Re: psql on red hat 7.1

Hi,

I'm guessing that you've compiled your own version of PostgreSQL 7.1.2.

The symptoms you mention are what happens when PostgreSQL is compiled
without the "readline" library(ies).  Normally the PostgreSQL
"configure" program finds this if it's on your system, but I'm thinking
that perhaps you don't have it installed or the "configure" program
didn't find it for some reason.

You should probably compile PostgreSQL again, making sure that it can
find the readline library(ies).  This will give you a psql command line
history, etc.

:-)

Regards and best wishes,

Justin Clift
