Re: BUG #3787: configure: error: readline library not found

["Usama Dar" <munir(dot)usama(at)gmail(dot)com>]

or if your distro is a newer one, they generally come with an alternative called libedit, link that one if readline is not available for your distribution. i had the same problem with new Ubuntu releases.

You probably don't have readline's header files installed. They are
usually part of your linux distro, but not installed by default. Install
the files and rerun configure.
