problem in installing readline

[Gyesik Lee]

Thank you very much Judah and Brandon.
And sorry for not having mentioned that I am using mac OS X.

I followed the Judah's suggestions.
The second one is successful while the first one stops with the error
message below. (during building)
It seems that mac OS X is not so compatible.

Anyway, I installed readline.
Thank you very for your great help.
