I think the switches are confusing ... when you are using libedit, you certainly don't want readline as well, so it seems natural to disable it. I understand that what --without-readline really does is turn the line-editing capability off in general rather than just readline, which is confusing. -- Alvaro Herrera http://www.CommandPrompt.com/ PostgreSQL Replication, Consulting, Custom Development, 24x7 support
