Replying to [comment:10 judah]:
> In 6.10 ghci uses the editline (libedit) package instead of readline, so
only the former is distributed by default. The readline package can still
be downloaded from hackage.haskell.org if needed.

> In order to get the rich line-editing interface you need to have the
libedit library installed before building ghc; see
[wiki:Building/Prerequisites] for more information.
:-) Meanwhile, I am using HEAD in darcs (6.11.20081009) and added the
libedit-dev package to (x)ubuntu. It seems to work - thank you very much!
