Introduction
This is an article where the main focus is about solving an error message appear when performing PostgreSQL database installation. It is the installation where the step exist in this link. It is an article with the title of ‘How to Install PostgreSQL Database Server using compressed file in CentOS 8’. The following is the appearance of the installation process where the error message appear :

The error exist as in the last part in the above output command. Those error are in the following lines :
checking for library containing readline... 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. [root@10 postgresql-12.0]#
Solution
Actually, the solution is very simple. First of all, search the library with the name of ‘readline’. Execute the following command :
[root@10 postgresql-12.0]# yum search readline Last metadata expiration check: 1:04:23 ago on Wed 16 Jun 2021 06:55:45 AM EDT. ====================================================================== Name Exactly Matched: readline ====================================================================== readline.x86_64 : A library for editing typed command lines readline.i686 : A library for editing typed command lines ===================================================================== Name & Summary Matched: readline ===================================================================== compat-golang-github-chzyer-readline-devel.noarch : Pure Go implementation of GNU Readline-like library golang-gopkg-readline-1-devel.noarch : Pure Go implementation of GNU Readline-like library lua-readline.x86_64 : Lua interface to the readline and history libraries perl-Term-ReadLine-Gnu.x86_64 : Perl extension for the GNU Readline/History Library readline-devel.i686 : Files needed to develop programs which use the readline library readline-devel.x86_64 : Files needed to develop programs which use the readline library tcl-tclreadline.x86_64 : GNU Readline extension for Tcl/Tk tcl-tclreadline-devel.x86_64 : Development files for the tclreadline library ======================================================================== Summary Matched: readline ========================================================================= editline.x86_64 : A small compatible replacement for readline python3-readlike.noarch : Readline-like line editing module rlwrap.x86_64 : Wrapper for GNU readline [root@10 postgresql-12.0]#
Actually, there are several packages containing the name of ‘readline’. But there is only one package which is the suitable one for solving the problem. It is a package with the name of ‘readline-devel’. So, execute the following command to install ‘readline-devel’ :
[root@10 postgresql-12.0]# yum -y install readline-devel Last metadata expiration check: 1:14:46 ago on Wed 16 Jun 2021 06:55:45 AM EDT.

The execution of the command ‘./configure –prefix=postgresql_installation_path’ is a success. It is actually the part for generating Makefile script for building the installer. Just continue the installation process of PostgreSQL database server as exist in this link.
Hi,
sorry in advance if I ask a newbie questions, but I have trouble make cdcd work.I use the RedHat 7.1 distribution, kernel 2.4.4-2, gcc 2.96-81. At the beginning I had installed the 0.6.0-2(???) binaries of cdcd, where the device command seemed to be not implemented. The device I want to use is not /dev/cdrom but /dev/dvd so I have obtained cdcd-0.5.0 and libcdaudio-0.99.1 and tried to compile cdcd whit this device as the default device. The compilation was fine, but I couldn’t run it, because of the error:
/usr/local/bin/cdcd: error while loading shared libraries: /usr/local/bin/cdcd: undefined symbol: cddb_message
On the sourceforge site I have found the newer versions cdcd-0.5.6 (whit the device feature implemented) and libcdaudio-0.99.6. The compilation and installation of libcdaudio was fine again, but when I try to compile cdcd I get:
configure: error: cannot find libreadline 4.2 or higher
What does this error mean? And would you give me some advice what to do?
Thanks in advance and best regards — Welko
У меня есть сервер Ubuntu 10.04 LTS с минимальной установкой, на котором я хочу скомпилировать postgres. При минимальной установке на сервере не было gcc, поэтому я должен был сделать, apt-get install gccно теперь я продолжаю получать эту ошибку от postgres ./configure.
configure: error: readline library not found
Я не могу найти имя пакета, который содержит библиотеку readline. Итак, у меня есть два вопроса.
- Как называется пакет, содержащий readline?
- Есть ли какой-либо способ, приведенный выше, для меня, чтобы найти сообщение об ошибке по его стандартному имени?
Ответы:
Вам, вероятно, нужно установить libreadline-dev.
Быстрый способ поиска пакетов в таких случаях заключается в использовании такой команды:
apt-cache search libreadline
Эта команда, вероятно, выведет список нескольких пакетов, но если вы заинтересованы в компиляции из исходного кода, то пакет, заканчивающийся на, -devвероятно, содержит файлы configure, которые ищет скрипт.
