That's fairly standard I fear.  Certainly libreadline is like that on
my Fedora machine (and it doesn't stop our configure script from getting
it right).

It may be that the presence of both libedit and libreadline is what's
messing things up.  I seem to recall fixing configure to deal with that
[ digs in logs ... ] oh, here we go:

That certainly seems like a reasonable conclusion. I would be perfectly happy to use libedit rather than libreadline, but I wrongly assumed that without it command line editing would not function.

Thanks for identifying the cause of the problem.
