Hmm... I was worried that you might say that ;-)

There isn't much useful information thought to say what is going wrong:

screen:

checking for readline... no

config.log:

configure:9368: checking for readline
configure:9464: result: no

I think I have everything required installed:

[507] [snoopy:bam] ~/cvswork/heimdal >ls -l {,/usr}/lib/libreadline*
lrwxrwxrwx    1 root     root           18 Feb 23  2000 /lib/libreadline.so.2 -> libreadline.so.2.1

lrwxrwxrwx    1 root     root           21 Sep 14 15:30 /usr/lib/libreadline.so -> /lib/libreadline.so.4

So, the development libraries are under /usr/lib.

Include files:

-rw-r--r--    1 root     root         3180 Mar 21  2000 tilde.h

I could try sh -x Configure, but this will be rather verbose...
