Thanks Daniel,

I upgraded to 10.9 last year but xCode, the command line tools and Fink are all 
very recent installs, I do have the latest command line tools installed as 
well, and just to make sure I reinstalled them, just in case. I do have 
/usr/include in place as well as /sw/include.

Where would I look for the error you are wanting to see, I noticed that there 
are many warnings generated and a few errors mentioned while compiling the 
code. Are you and Alex looking for the same error??

Alex asked, 'The message indicates that the readline module failed to build, 
but I would imagine that there's an earlier error message in the log which 
mentions why it failed.’

Thanks again for your help, fellows,

Ray
