Doing a default ./configure (no additional options) on a freshly installed OpenBSD 2.9 results in a 'psql' binary that
isn'tlinked to termcap. The error looks like this:
$ ./psql
Welcome to psql, the PostgreSQL interactive terminal.
Type: \copyright for distribution terms
\h for help with SQL commands
\? for help on internal slash commands
\g or terminate with semicolon to execute query
\q to quit
/usr/libexec/ld.so: Undefined symbol "_tgetent" called from psql:/usr/lib/librea
dline.so.0.0 at 0x40088964
$
-----snip-----
"_tgetent" is a termcap symbol, and simply appending
-ltermcap
...to the final gcc command during the 'psql' make fixes the problem. This should probably work w/o human
intervention,however. :-)
PostgreSQL rocks!
