The problem is here:

I had forgotten about this detail.  Apparently, in Mac OS X 10.4,  
Apple has a "readline" conflict.  My recollection is that, in 10.4,  
the BSD library libedit makes use of a "readline.h", which is in /usr/ 
include.

I believe the only feasible way to handle this is to rename this copy  
of readline.h so it won't be used in the build.

HTH.

Justin
