Um... I think you might like to change this part in configure.in:

AC_CHECK_LIB(readline,rl_set_screen_size,LIBS="$LIBS -lreadline",
    AC_MSG_ERROR(Readline is required.))

To:

AC_CHECK_LIB(readline,rl_set_screen_size,LIBS="$LIBS -lreadline -lncurses",
    AC_MSG_ERROR(Readline is required.))

Otherwise configure fails, complaining that it can't find -lreadline
(well, at least on my system...).
