You need to make sure that the readline libraries are found. The
--with-includes and --with-libs options to configure are a good bet.
readline is available from all good ftp sites in the gnu directory (e.g.
http://sunsite.doc.ic.ac.uk/packages/gnu/readline/
)
Check config.status to see whether it has been found.
