Re: Readline causing grief in build

Thanks are in order ...

First off to Tom Lane for the "excedrin" that I asked for, although it
wasn't working for me as quickly as I liked (read "I had to think").
Using --with-libraries seemed to be throwing different errors, in fact
it wasn't getting as far as it was without that option (I must be
missing something elementary about this library, I've only been playing
on a Mac for a year and it's very different than a Windows box. If it
wasn't for the Darwin core I'd still be lost!).

Most especially, thanks to David Oshel for the "vicodan" that I really
wanted. The OSX binary was just what I needed. Any ideas if it will be
this easy to install on OSX Server? That will be next, once I have set
up what I need OMM and am ready to move it over.

Now to learn how to work this crazy thing (read "You'll hear from me
again").

Happy holidays to all!
