Comment (by judah):

 In 6.10 ghci uses the editline (libedit) package instead of readline, so
 only the former is distributed by default.  The readline package can still
 be downloaded from hackage.haskell.org if needed.

 In order to get the rich line-editing interface you need to have the
 libedit library installed before building ghc; see
 [wiki:Building/Prerequisites] for more information.
