I am trying to get command line history and editing to work with psql, as
life is a pain without it.
I'm running PostgreSQL 7.1.3 on Linux.
Documenation on this subject is very archaic, but I have done the following
so far:
- installed readline library
- run ./configure with the following command line options
--with-libs=/usr/local/lib --with-includes=/usr/local/include
I am still getting quite a few errors in the config.log file when I run gmake:
- after "checking for readline" there are a bunch of errors, such as
"undefined reference to tputs", "undefined reference to tgoto", etc.
followed by "failed program was: #line 3111 "configure" "
- in the block beginning with "int main() { readline() " I get "cannot find
-ledit" --- but I haven't been able to find the edit library anywhere
- the following block gives "undefined reference to setproctitle" when
checking for setproctitle in -lutil
- int main() { setproctitle.. in turn fails because of "cannot find lsocket"
again, I can not find the socket library anywhere
and so on...
Does anyone have a list of what needs to be installed to get psql command
line history to work on Linux ? (and WHERE I can find these libraries, etc..?)
Thanks In Advance,
Charlie
