Rightfully yes libpq was installed poorly however it should not fail while testing -lreadline Expected result: ---------------- I expect the test for -lreadline to only fail if libreadline cannot be found. Actual result: -------------- -lreadline test is failing because of another library. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=33651&edit=1
