Unfortunately I'm still having trouble, it seems to be picking up the 
library fine now, but missing the header:
I am currently using the command
./configure --buildopts="-L/sw/lib/ -lreadline -I/sw/include/ -include 
readline/readline.h -DUSE_READLINE=1"
to configure, then editing the config.cache file - I have tried the 
exact text you specified and also this:
READLINE="-DUSE_READLINE=1 -L/sw/lib/ -lreadline -I/sw/include/ 
-include readline/readline.h"
But still with no joy.  I'm currently getting this error:

gcc: readline/readline.h: No such file or directory
make[1]: *** 
[/Users/tatd100/Desktop/project/hmake-3.08/lib/powerpc-Darwin6/MkProg] 
Error 1
make: *** [targets/powerpc-Darwin6/hmake-ghc] Error 2

The header file is in the directory
/sw/include/readline/

Any further ideas would be appreciated.

Thanks
