Thanks, but that didn't work.  Here's the complete error result from that:

checking for -lreadline... no

checking for -ledit... 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.

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

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