 ghc's editline bindings weren't built when you built ghc.  Can you please
 check whether ghc's editline package is installed, for example by:

 It's also missing in my case, additionally it seems that '''readline''' is
 the only one of the darcs packages missing at the source distributions
 (6.10,6.11) - might this problem be nonexistent if building from darcs?
 What's the reason to omit readline?
