I'm not sure whether this will fix your problem, but if you want to
build ghc using a libedit in a nonstandard location, there's an easier
solution than setting all of those environmental variables: just
configure ghc with (for example)

./configure --with-editline-includes=/opt/local/include
--with-editline-libraries=/opt/local/lib
