You need the readline development headers, which in general are found in <package_name>-devel package available for your distribution. You might have readline installed, but clearly you don't have the development headers or they are installed in a non-standard place that the configure script can't find them. I'm not familiar with Ubuntu, but on Fedora the package you need is readline-devel. Install it using Ubuntu's package manager and then try to recompile. And please *don't* post to both R-Help *and* R-devel; posting to one list is quite sufficient and only R-devel is the appropriate list for questions of this nature.
