Re: command-line history (readline) fails

Thanks Larry... fwiw this is my output.

$ ldd psql
   libpq.so.2 => /usr/local/pgsql/lib/libpq.so.2 (0x40013000)
   libcrypt.so.1 => /lib/libcrypt.so.1 (0x400f2000)
   libresolv.so.2 => /lib/libresolv.so.2 (0x4011f000)
   libnsl.so.1 => /lib/libnsl.so.1 (0x4012f000)
   libdl.so.2 => /lib/libdl.so.2 (0x40143000)
   libm.so.6 => /lib/libm.so.6 (0x40146000)
   libhistory.so.4 => /lib/libhistory.so.4 (0x40167000)
   libc.so.6 => /lib/libc.so.6 (0x4016f000)
  /lib/ld-linux.so.2 => /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0x40000000)

I didn't install any readline-devel - just the readline4.3 tarball from gnu.org
I just ran configure, make, make install from default.  It doesn't look like postgresql picked up that it had been
installed.

Am I doing something completely wrong? (the instructions were just to install readline before compiling postgresql).
Arethere any step-by-step instructions for this, or should it work out of the box? 

regards,
/j-p.
