Did you download the source or precompiled binary? It seems to me that either you don't have libreadline.so.4 installed on your system, or your LD_LIBRARY_PATH is not pointing to the right place. Neverthenless, on my system, I have it like this: [flyb] [/tmp/majk/postgresql-8.1.0] 2 > locate libreadline /usr/local/lib/libreadline.so /usr/local/lib/libreadline.so.3 [flyb] [/tmp/majk/postgresql-8.1.0] 2 > But, I downloaded source and compiled postgreSQL myself. I was able to run initdb to create the cluster, then I run the postmaster, psql, everything worked. It's just that compilation took more than two hours on Sun Fire something with UltraSparc2.
