I am running a standard Mac OS X Panther with developer tools and the
10.3.1 update.

checking for readline... no
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.

I have not included the huge config.log, but it can be viewed at this
URL:
http://www.pvv.ntnu.no/~halset/tmp/20031207-config.log

It tries to link with readline, doesnt find that and tries once more
with libedit. ld report that _readline are undefined. /
