Huh? This I find hard to believe. Whenever I've had problems with readline
it was actually libtermcap that was giving me a headache. Are you sure that
there's nothing in there that's pointing you to your libtermcap being ....

Also, try setting CFLAGS to point to your include / lib dirs
(-I/path/to/include) (-L/path/to/lib)
