I should have known readline would continue to cause problems!
There should be a program (c-shell script) called 'install' somewhere
on your system. Try 'man install' and there's a chance that it will
give you the full path of the 'install' program. Then, add that
directory to your path, and try 'configure' again.

If this doesn't work, I will try to provide you with the install.sh file,
even though it is not part of the distribution of readline. That will
probably mean a lot of researching, and may take a while.

I really, really, really HATE readline, but that's the best choice I
have so far...

Good luck,
