• How Do I Avoid Tiger's readline When Compiling PostgreSQL?

  https://justatheory.com/2005/11/postgres-avoid-tigers-readline

  I was delighted to find that Mac OS X 10.4 “Tiger” includes the readline library. So I was able to just compile PostgreSQL and have psql just work. Only it kinda doesn’t. For reasons that Tom Lane has explained, Tiger’s readline implementation is somewhat buggy. I’ve reported the issue to Apple (Radar # 4356545), but in the meantime, I’ve compiled and installed GNU readline 5.0 and wan to use it, instead.
