Bug #934: readline.h not found during configure

Bill Eichin (bill(at)eichin(dot)org) reports a bug with a severity of 2
The lower the number the more severe it is.

Short Description
readline.h not found during configure

Long Description
I'm running debian woody, and I've been revisiting this problem for several months. I had no choice during compile except to select --without-readline in order to move on in the compile process. Just about twenty minutes ago, I found that installing the "libedit-dev" package provided me with the "/usr/include/libedit/libreadline.h file. Symlinking /usr/include/libedit to /usr/include/libreadline made the configure process succeed without disabling readline.

I don't know exactly who to complain to, or what exactly to complain about. So, here it it, and if you want to check out the details, I'll get you a logon into the server I'm doing this on. Thanks, in advance, for having a bug reporting system :)
