You could send in a patch! I think the instructions in the `INSTALL` file could have that information. Right now they tell users to build their own `libreadline` in `/usr/local/gnu` <https://metacpan.org/source/HAYASHI/Term-ReadLine-Gnu-1.25/INSTALL>. Also, the error in the `Makefile.PL` could be more useful and point to the `INSTALL` file <https://metacpan.org/source/HAYASHI/Term-ReadLine-Gnu-1.25/Makefile.PL#L229>.
