PostgreSQL configure: error: readline library not found

前言

安装 PostgreSQL 时报错，以下

复制代码

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.

解决

检查系统是否安装 readline 包

复制代码

rpm -qa | grep readline

安装 readline-devel 包

复制代码

yum -y install -y readline-devel

再次执行 configure 成功

关于 readline 的解释，来自官网

复制代码

--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：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
