I'll second that too.  If you have problems with readline compilation error ( chances are good that
you will ), A homebrew replacement for the crappy OS X libraries might go along the lines of..

sudo git clone git://github.com/mxcl/homebrew.git /usr/local/homebrew
  cd /usr/local/bin
  ln -s /usr/local/homebrew/bin/brew brew

sudo mkdir /usr/local/homebrew/Cellar
chmod a+w /usr/local/homebrew/Cellar
brew install readline
brew link --overwrite --dry-run readline
sudo  brew link --overwrite readline
