I have check config.log and can't see anything wrong. Is there a way to fix
this without rebuilding? Below it the output from config.log, if you have
time to look at it :)

I have the following files in /usr/lib/:

/usr/lib/libhistory.so.3.0
/usr/lib/libhistory.so.3
/usr/lib/libreadline.so.3.0
/usr/lib/libreadline.so.3

Thanks very much for your help
