I got this error message when i ran ./configure

*********************************
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.

Does anyone know what library i need to install on my Debian?

Try libreadline5 or libreadline4 (you might need -dev too).

apt-get install libreadline5 libreadline5-dev

Carl

P.S. You might want to try this out:

Much less painful (e.g. apt-get install postgresql will install the right version of readline for you)
