I just deleted my postgres tree, and then unpacked it again, and ran configure again. libreadline.a and libhistory.a are in /usr/local/lib/. readline.h and history.h are in /usr/local/include/readline/. I then ran ./configure. When I look at config.h, I can see that it failed to detect /usr/local/include/readline/history.h. Also, I see that it did define HAVE_HISTORY_IN_READLINE 1 which is incorrect. I would have to make the change by hand to the file. I think it may be a bug. e
