Re: further Mac OS X woes

[Per Persson]

As Jonathan correctly pointed out, configure couldn't find libreadline.

In general, and I'm pretty sure this is in the fink FAQ, you need to 
add the search paths to fink-installed libs and headers.
setenv CPPFLAGS '-no-cpp-precomp -I/sw/include'
setenv LDFLAGS '-L/sw/lib'

The -no-cpp-precomp flag is unrelated to the problem, but it'll reduce 
the compile time
You probably need to specify FLIBS too, if configure barfs on g77 
installed by fink
setenv FLIBS '-L/sw/lib -lg2c'

Please let me know if this worksm and I'll add it to the wiki page
