Обсуждение: MacOSX, fink, missing readline/readline.h

This has to do with building postgresql-8.0.3

I'm installing on a MacOSX system (10.3) and configure's failing to
find the readline installation.

output:
checking readline/readline.h usability... yes
checking readline/readline.h presence... no
configure: WARNING: readline/readline.h: accepted by the compiler,
rejected by the preprocessor!
configure: WARNING: readline/readline.h: proceeding with the
preprocessor's result
checking for readline/readline.h... no
checking readline.h usability... no
checking readline.h presence... no
checking for readline.h... no
configure: error: readline header not found

and the config.log extract itself:
configure:7699: gcc -no-cpp-precomp -c -I/sw/include
-I/Library/PostgreSQL8/include -Wall -Wmissing-prototypes
-Wpointer-arith -Wend

configure:7734: $? = 1
configure: failed program was:
#line 7723 "configure"

#include <readline/readline.h>
configure:7752: result: no
configure:7758: WARNING: readline/readline.h: accepted by the compiler,
rejected by the preprocessor!
configure:7760: WARNING: readline/readline.h: proceeding with the
preprocessor's result

This should have worked.   The problem is 'gcc -no-cpp-precomp -E'
Is there a solution?
Anything I've tried has failed.

I hope this is an acceptable question to this list - I'm already
inundated with email and more lists will overload me completely.

What does your configure command look like? I have not tried it in a
while, but this used to work for me:

./configure --with-includes=/sw/include --with-libraries=/sw/lib


Or if you don't need readline:

./configure --without-readline

This makes the assumption that readline was installed via fink, I think.  A
likely assumption, probably.  If you haven't done that, it is pretty easy to
do....

Installing the vanilla readline library from source now works great on 10.3.

If you first install this using the standard ./configure && make && sudo
make install :

ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/readline/readline-5.0.tar.gz

then your postgresql compile should work fine.
