(1) Did you remove config.cache and rerun configure after installing the
headers? Maybe your problem is just that configure is caching the
not-found result ...
(2) readline 2.2.1 is really ancient; the current release is 4.2.
I'm not certain that we'd work with 2.2.1 even if you got past the
configure issue. You might need to update to a newer readline
library. (Caution: readline 4.2 is so new that PG 7.1 doesn't talk
to it. Recommended combination is rl 4.1 with PG 7.1, or rl 4.2
with PG >= 7.1.1.)
