If you install, via apt-get install postgresql-8.1, there is no "problem with compiling" but rather the chance of a depency problem which you better report to the debian staff (or the package maintainer). If you really build from source, you need the respective -dev package of the libs postgres needs. In your case, its libreadline5-dev - GNU readline and history libraries, development files since the header files are needed during the linking. Regards Tino
