The problem here should be that it's not finding a term library (which
readline needs). The current cvs version of configure.in changes the
test from:

AC_CHECK_LIB(termcap, tgoto)

to:

for termlib in ncurses termcap ; do
   AC_CHECK_LIB(${termlib}, tgoto, 
                [LIBS="-l${termlib} $LIBS"; break])
done

which should work (you have to have autoconf & pals, though... if you
have those, a 'configure --enable-maintainer-mode; rm config.cache;
make' should do the trick). Or, you can pick up guile from cvs or
snapshot.

Russ, this would be a good one for the FAQ, it seems to come up an
awful lot.
