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>.
