GHC 6.8.1 Build Failure on Mac OS X Intel 10.4.10

[Paul Brown]

Try:

./configure --with-readline-include=/opt/local/include/readline -- 
with-readline-libraries=/opt/local/lib

And this should work with the readline libs that you have installed  
via MacPorts.  (Worked for me to build 6.8.1, and ghci works like it  
should.)
