Re: psql undefined symbol error on Ubuntu

Raghu Ram,

Thanks for responding. This link already seems to exist:

# ln -s /lib/libreadline.so.5 /lib/libedit.so.2
ln: creating symbolic link `/lib/libedit.so.2': File exists


Regards,

This is a readline problem --- it's missing some underlying
library,
probably libtermcap.

regards, tom lane

This is library missing error and you have to soft link with
libedit.so.2. use below command to soft link with library.

ln -s /lib/libreadline.so.5 /lib/libedit.so.2

Run the psql as a postgres user,like
psql -d <database name> -p <port> -U <username>

Thanks & Regards,
Raghu Ram
