To have command line editing, you need both.  The configure 
script checks, and found that you don't have it, and disabled 
it.  Without it, it should still compile and link, but with the 
editing feature disabled.

I think you tried to compile it without running configure first, 
so it didn't realize that readline wasn't there.  Then you ran 
configure, but then it didn't completely rebuild, leaving the 
call to readline in.  Try "rm -rf O" from src.  That will force 
a full rebuild.

Messages from configure are indicators of what it is doing.  
When something fails in configure, it is supposed to make 
adjustments so the program still builds, but possibly with a 
feature missing or lower performance.
