Hi.. thanks.

Here's a printout from my find command:

/usr/local/include/readline
/usr/local/include/readline/readline.h


And the plot thickens. Here is where it errors out and then loops endlessly until it quits:
(There are symbolic links from libreadline.so to libreadline.so.6.0)

configure: error: readline library not found
If you have readline already installed, see config.log for details on the failure. It is possible the compiler isn't looking in the proper directory.
Use --without-readline to disable readline support.

   Are you *sure* that readline is installed in those directories

Have you checked config.log to see the actual error message from the linker?
