在搭建Postgresql测试环境，在安装过程中遇到一个问题，在执行 configure过程中报以下错误,configure: error: readline library
过程中报以下错误,configure: error: readline library not found,同事说已经在系统中安装
readline 包了，让我帮他看下。
1 环境信息
OS: CentOS release 5.2(Final)
PG: postgresql-9.0.0]
2 根据提示，，我测试了下 configre命令，果然报这个错

configure: error: readline library notfound
If you have readline already installed, see config.log for detailson the
failure. It is possible the compiler isnt lookingin the proper directory.
Use --without-readline to disable readlinesupport.
根据提示，应该是没有安装 readline包。
3 检查系统是否安装 readline 包
[[email protected]]# rpm -qa | grep readline
readline-5.1-3.el5
说明系统已经安装了 readline包。
4 通过 yum 搜索相关的readline 包
[[email protected]]# yum search readline
lftp.i386 : A sophisticated file transfer program
lftp.i386 : A sophisticated file transfer program
php-readline.i386 : Standard PHP module provides readline librarysupport
lftp.i386 : A sophisticated file transfer program
readline.i386 : A library for editing typed commandlines.
compat-readline43.i386 : The readline 4.3 library for compatibilitywith older software.
readline-devel.i386 : Files needed to develop programs which usethe readline library.
readline.i386 : A library for editing typed command lines.
根据提示，有一个包引起了我的注意 "readline-devel",猜想可能与这个包有关。
5 安装 readline-devel 包
[[email protected]]# yum -y install -y readline-devel

6 再次执行 configure 成功。
7 关于 readline 的解释，来自官网
--without-readline
Prevents use of the Readline library (and libedit as well). Thisoption disables command-line
editing and history in psql, so it is notrecommended.
说明： 根据步骤2 执行 configure时报错提示，可以加上 "--without-readline" 从而避开这个ERROR，
但Postgresql官方不推荐这么做，所以还是安装吧。
