Comment (by maeder):

 With Judah's new framework I can install also the Shellac-readline package
 (probably because readline/history.h is found in /usr/include/ by chance)

 As mentioned above (comment 11) `compiler/ghci/Linker.lhs` should not fail
 if it does not find a framework, because ghci itself has loaded the
 frameworks GMP and GNUreadline already (possibly from the home directory).

 (Only) after this simple change GNUreadline should be mentioned as
 framework in the package.conf file (as it is already the case for the GMP
 framework, that happens to be under /Library/Frameworks for me, too.)
