(On Mac OS X, dynamic libraries end with .dylib, being a Mach-O  
format. The .so is for a fromat used on GNU/Linux computers.)

It could be, because the reason I installed latest readline was that  
I wanted Hugs and GHCi working with UTF-8, and it didn't work.

Suppose I set a soft link from the system readline to the newly  
installed, would it suffice to set it from
  /usr/lib/libreadline.<ext> -> /usr/local/lib/libreadline.<ext>
Or must some other stuff, like in /usr/include, also be relinked?
