Actually I normally use readline-4.2 but ghc for netbsd required the 
readline-5.0 libraries, so that was what was installed. I tried both 
versions of readline with no luck. I even tried including readline.h 
directly in libraries/readline/System/Console/Readline.hsc. However I 
still get the error.
