This is exactly why I asked the OP in the previous post how his readline was
compiled and where it was stored.
You took care to compile it universal and for the same deployment target as
your Python. That is very important.
Additionally, you installed both into (a default) /usr/local/... which again
may be important because it's in the default path for library search.
I must point out, though, that you built Python 2.6.4 where compilation of GNU
readline was the only option.
Starting with Python 2.6.5, when the deployment target is 10.6 (or 10.5), the
GNU readline is not needed at all. Python will link with the native editline
and work just fine.
The OP should be able to build it using your instructions with or without
external GNU readline.
Best regards,
