Not the first time: it's hard to spot in all that autoconf output. But it's
there.
After setting LDFLAGS and CPPFLAGS appropriately it works OK. The only real
problem here is that the warning scrolls by quite quickly and isn't easy to
spot amongst the normal output. Perhaps a few ******'s or something else that
uses a lot of ink in the message? Better still would be to have the module
throw an error from within activate-readline if the readline library hasn't
been configured, but I don't know how hard this would be to do.
Thanks for your help on this.
