 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
