I have been trying to re-compile PostgreSQL 6.4.2 on my IRIX 6.5.3
machine so that I can use the readline option. I installed GNU readline
4.0 on my IRIX. It created a new directory called
/usr/local/include/readline which contains the following files:

> ls
--------------------------------------------------------
/usr/local/include/readline
--------------------------------------------------------
chardefs.h   history.h    keymaps.h    readline.h   rlconf.h
rlstdc.h     tilde.h


So I think I should be all set.

However, the PostgreSQL configure says that it can't find
readline/history.h and readline/readline.h. I changed configure so that
it would look in the correct directory and it seemed to work. Everything
compiled and installed. However, psql still doesn't recognize the up and
down arrows.

Can anyone give me some pointers on what I need to change to get this
thing to work?

Thanks.
