I'll be trying to install postgres 8.0b1/b4; when I make the config a
message appear:

"configure: error: readline library not found"

$ rpm -qa | grep readline
libreadline4-4.3-7mdk
libreadline4-devel-4.3-7mdk

Then I try;

$ ./configure --with-libraries=/lib --with-includes=/usr/include/readline
(where the libs are)

I read a message from Tom Lane talking about termcap, it's installed too.

The same problem occurs with zlib.

I fix it skipping both libs with

./configure --without-readline --without-zlib

but...

Try looking at the config.log output in the part where it's trying to
find readline (should be near the end); the link error messages may be
enlightening. If not, try "ldd" on the readline library file to see
what its dependencies are --- the best theory I have is that you are
missing some library it requires. (It ain't necessarily termcap.)
Of course if you are this would indicate a packaging mistake for
libreadline, because it should have had an RPM dependency on whatever
it needs.

running MDK 10.0, but no problem here (and never had).

Try running "ldconfig" and look if /lib contains valid links to
libreadline.so.4(.3). Also try ldconfig -p to examine the linker cache
then. /lib looks like this on my MDK 10.0 installation then:

libreadline.so -> libreadline.so.4.3
libreadline.so.4 -> libreadline.so.4.3
libreadline.so.4.1 -> ../lib/libreadline.so.4
libreadline.so.4.2 -> ../lib/libreadline.so.4
libreadline.so.4.3

[...]
