Then you have done something non-standard, because "cc" on FreeBSD does
not look in /usr/local/include or /usr/local/lib without being told to
do so, and the configure checks for readline will fail without that.
Possible explanations include having a "gcc" (without a specific version
suffix) on the $PATH (gcc will be chosen over cc in that case), or
having configured CFLAGS or CPPFLAGS in the environment to ./configure.

You might post your full output of ./configure rather than leaving us to
guess at it.
