Created attachment 268735 [details] build.log of case 2 (USE="-readline")
Would you mind doing what does error messages tell you first ? That is using 'eselect postgresql' to set a valid version of it.
Before the post I already took a look at eselect postgresql list. I was thinking everything was allright, but didn't note that the installed version of postgresql wasn't "starred" (selected). I still don't understand why readline is not found by econf
Do you have a build log where you try to build with the readline USE flag?
Sorry for this report, even if I don't understand how the eselect postgresql not set the readline library wasn't found.
