Do you think configure should attempt to fix this problem?  I'm still in
the dark as to how to make the OS X build process easier, seems like
there is a lot of extra linker and compiler flags that have to be
manually added.

The --without-readline switch to configure should disable readline.

Hmm.  Not sure whats going on there, since configure did report that
MidiShare was enabled.  Perhaps there is a build issue with MidiShare.
Would be easy to overlook since I think it is not used as much as some
of the other Midi drivers.  I'll look into this.  Best regards.
