New description:

 I had some problems installing readline-1.0.1.0 on Darwin. I don't
 think it was looking for GNU readline among my Macports.

 In the end I did this and it worked:
 {{{
 sudo cabal unpack readline
 cd readline-1.0.1.0/
 chmod +x configure
 sudo ./configure --with-readline-includes=/opt/local/include/readline
 --with-readline-libraries=/opt/local/lib
 sudo runhaskell Setup build
 sudo runhaskell Setup install
 }}}

Comment(by YitzGale):

 For me this did not work - configure still seems to find the native
 fake readline and Mac OS X and refuses to proceed. Nor did any other
 of the many combinations I tried of various suggestions in
 [http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/3121 GHC Ticket #3121]
 and Judah Jacobson's
 [http://www.haskell.org/pipermail/libraries/2009-May/011595.html May 2009
 post]
 on the libraries list.
