Re: Install Problem

right, you should run off to gnu.org and pull down and compile the
readline library

or i think you can turn it off in the configure script

check

configure --help

for current options

though in my opinion you'll want readline support in "psql"  its nice
being able to scroll back and have line-edit capabilities (including
completion!)
