That link command is indistinguishable from the successful call on my Fedora box: configure:8432: checking for inflate in -lz configure:8467: gcc -o conftest -O2 -Wall -Wmissing-prototypes -Wpointer-arith -Wdeclaration-after-statement -Wendif-labels -Wformat-security -fno-strict-aliasing -fwrapv -g -D_GNU_SOURCE conftest.c -lz -lreadline -lcrypt -ldl -lm >&5 configure:8474: $? = 0 configure:8495: result: yes [ pokes around for a bit... ] Oh, wait a minute: $ ls -l /usr/lib64/libreadline.so lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 28 Oct 1 2010 /usr/lib64/libreadline.so -> ../../lib64/libreadline.so.6* $ rpm -qf /usr/lib64/libreadline.so readline-devel-6.1-2.fc13.x86_64 If SUSE's packaging policies are like Red Hat's, your problem is that you neglected to install readline-devel, zlib-devel, and so on. You would probably have twigged to this after configure started complaining that the .h files weren't there either ... regards, tom lane -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
