This crash on startup of psql (6.4.2 rev) doesn't happen when I use psql
-n to not use the readline library ... but I have readline installed (RH
Linux 5.2, readline-2.2.1-1) and libreadline.so.3 and .so are in
/usr/lib ... (and am not getting "missing libreadline" error, it just
crashes on startup w/o -n option.)
Any suggestions?
thanks,
--Michael
