Yes, true now it looks like pg-general. I started out this discussion because I couldn't get Performance Testing done. But looks like the performance cannot be done due to the tool cannot be built...:) and all evils are getting unleashed from this..
OK, I did exactly to move to the top of the directory and run the ./configure first. Everything work until the last time it reports error now.... ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- checking for -lreadline... no checking for -ledit... no configure: error: readline library not found If you have readline already installed, see config.log for details on the failure. It is possible the compiler isn't looking in the proper directory. Use --without-readline to disable readline support. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I tried man readline and man edit, there seem to manuals on it. I checked the Synaptic Manager. There seem to be a package called readline-common. I then search the net for some assistance. Looks like there was another guy who had a similar problem like me. The URL is http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1638949 So I tried installing 'readline' using ->sudo apt-cache search readline AND ->sudo apt-get install libreadline6 libreadline6-dev Upon answering 'y' to install without verification, I get Bad Gateway error. Install these packages without verification [y/N]? y Err http://my.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ maverick/main libncurses5-dev i386 5.7+20100626-0ubuntu1 502 Bad Gateway Err http://my.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ maverick/main libreadline6-dev i386 6.1-3 502 Bad Gateway Failed to fetch http://my.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/n/ncurses/libncurses5-dev_5.7+20100626-0ubuntu1_i386.deb 502 Bad Gateway Failed to fetch http://my.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/r/readline6/libreadline6-dev_6.1-3_i386.deb 502 Bad Gateway E: Unable to fetch some archives, maybe run apt-get update or try with --fix-missing? Looks like I'm stuck at this level. Please assist to breakaway.... Thank you.
