Thomas,

thanks loads for the help.

what i did was:

rpm -Uvh readline-devel-2.2.1-5.i386.rpm

rm src/config.cache
make clean
make
make install

and it works.

i think that the postgres build should check more thoroughly that
/usr/include/readline/*.h exists and not let you make with out it, as pgsql
is quite unusable without arrow and del keys.

thanks again

Cheers
