"not found" in this context would probably be better read as "something
went wrong but I dunno what".  A likely possibility is that the readline
library needs some secondary library that configure didn't try
including.  Could we see the full config.log results?

Hm, I think those paths ought to be just
  --with-includes=/usr/local/lib:/usr/local/lib/include
  --with-libraries=/usr/local/lib

but not sure if that accounts for your problem ... also, readline 4.1
is long in the tooth, an update to 4.2 might help ...
