Library not loaded: /usr/local/opt/readline/lib/libreadline.6.2.dylib

Question

I just installed posgresql with homebrew and when I go on to type the command

psql

I get the following error:

dyld: Library         


        

Answer 1

The following commands worked for me:

brew reinstall postgresql
brew postgresql-upgrade-database

Answer 2

Another way to fix psql is update postgresql just running brew upgrade postgresql since the newest version will use readline 7 version.

Answer 3

I tried all the previews answers, and nothing worked. The only thing that really worked for me was:

brew link postgresql

Answer 4

This worked for me

brew switch readline

This would display the versions you have installed. Pick one out of them. I picked 7.0.5

I then ran

brew switch readline 7.0.5

The readline version got updated, and psql ran smoothly.

Answer 5

The solution is to force the linking of readline again.

brew remove readline
brew install readline
brew link readline --force

Answer 6

If you don't have readline installed, first install it:

brew install readline

For me, I was getting this error, even though I had readline installed. Reinstalling readline did the trick:

brew reinstall readline
