FWIW, on my OSX machines I always pull down the source distribution of
readline and build/install it per defaults ("configure; make; sudo make
install" or nearly so). This process puts libreadline.a into
/usr/local/lib and the .h files under /usr/local/include. It's probably
not ideal from an OSX-centric point of view, but it seems to work fine
for Postgres.
