Just a wild guess, but maybe the version of Readline you have installed on 
your system is too *new*.  I recall (opposite situation) compiling 2.0.16 
fine on my machine, but had to install a newer readline to get 2.1.35 
built.  I don't know if readline is backward compatible, but if not, it 
could certainly explain the situation. To verify this, you can 
try running 'configure' with the --disable-readline option, and then try 
'make' to see if it will build.
