安装postgreSQL出现configure:error:readline library not found解决方法

要安装 readline , readline-dev 开发包，要么使用 --without-readline 选项关闭 readline 功能。

#yum install readline;

#yum install readline-dev;

readline 也就是命令行编辑，关闭的话，你直接用psql 就不能编辑命令行，如果输错指令，不能回滚命令历史记录，只能手工重新输入。

在安装postgreSQL的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 not found ,可是我在系统中安装
readline 包了，

1 环境信息

2 根据提示，测试了下 configre命令，果然报这个错

If you have readline already installed, see config.log for details on the

Use --without-readline to disable readline support.

     根据提示，应该是没有安装 readline包。

3 检查系统是否安装 readline 包
[root@HK81-107 postgresql-9.0.0]# 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
[root@HK81-107 postgresql-9.0.0]# 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 library support
lftp.i386 : A sophisticated file transfer program
readline.i386 : A library for editing typed command lines.
compat-readline43.i386 : The readline 4.3 library for compatibility with older software.
readline-devel.i386 : Files needed to develop programs which use the readline library.
readline.i386 : A library for editing typed command lines.

 根据提示，有一个包引起了注意 "readline-devel", 猜想可能与这个包有关。
 
5 安装 readline-devel 包
[root@HK81-107 postgresql-9.0.0]# yum -y install -y readline-devel

6 再次执行 configure 成功。

7 还有一种解决方法：在configure 加上参数 --without-readline ，不过这样就不可以在命令行里面输入了，所以不建议这样。。。

8 configure 成功之后接着就是make了

9 make之后就是make install之后安装成功的话就会出现如下图所示的界面

 10.修改postgreSQL安装目录的权限，默认的安装目录在/usr/local/pgSQL下

修改权限命令为chmod -R 777 /usr/local/pgSQL

运行之后pgSQL目录下面的所有文件都会有XWR(X：可执行，W：可写，R：可读)权限。命令中的-R参数说明是 递归的把文件夹pgSQL目录及其目录下的所有文件都修改为相应的权限，777就是代表加上对本用户，本用户组的其他用户和不是这个组的用户增加XWR权 限。

 

11.

到此，PostgreSQL的安装完成了，接下来可以试着用用这个开源数据库啦…

1)：首先是初始化数据库。进入刚刚安装PG的文件夹/home/pg/postgr(这是我安装pg的目录，默认的安装目录是在/usr/local/pgSQL下)，输入./bin/initdb –D ../data. 这里的命令格式还需要查明白，特别是-D等参数的意义。这样会在postgr下面产生一个data文件夹。

2)：启动数据库服务器。./bin/postmaster –D ./data&. 其中&的意义需要弄明白，差这一个符号就会导致一定的问题，貌似启动数据库服务器还可以使用另外的命令：/bin/postgres -D ./data 或者是 ./bin/pg_ctl -D ./data -l logfile start。这些命令的区别可以自己查查手册或者咨询一下助教。

 

 

3)：在另外一个命令行下面，创建一个本地数据库。./bin/createdb testdb，其中testdb是数据库名。在data目录下会产生一个文件夹

 

 

4)：链接数据库服务器。./bin/psql testdb. 此时，输入help可以获得帮助。见下图

 

 

 

5)：访问数据库。这里就是输入sql命令了，以后调试的入口就是这里吧。结束后按\q退出。

 

6)：最后是关闭数据库服务器。./bin/pg_ctl stop –D ./data.

12.That‘s all！
