BUG #3787: configure: error: readline library not found

You probably don't have readline's header files installed. They are
usually part of your linux distro, but not installed by default. Install
the files and rerun configure.

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.

or if your distro is a newer one, they generally come with an alternative
called libedit, link that one if readline is not available for your
distribution. i had the same problem with new Ubuntu releases.
