francis,

i've had no problems running the latest postgresql (7.3.4) and I think it is now the supported version for oacs.

1. make sure postgres is not already installed on your system.  assuming it isn't...
2. try installing a postgres rpm.
3. if you really want to compile, post your error logs.  for readline errors specifically, i think you can use the command:

% configure --without-readline

what distribution of linux / version?

in the meantime, the postgresql installation docs on openacs are good, but you might also want to check postgresql.org as they will be a bit more detailed.  many times you can find that your question has already been answered by searching the forums here on openacs.org with your error message.
