configure: error: readline library not found  <-------------------------------------installed
If you have readline already installed, see config.log for details on the
failure.  It is possible the compiler isn't looking in the proper directory.
Use --without-readline to disable readline support.

bison					1.875          bison          
flex					2.5.4.2000-03-01 Flex (a superset of lex) 
vrl					1.3            vrl            

Bison, FLex, and Readline are all installed;
But as the configure output shows, it cannot find them...
Is there something I need to do to my environment to fix this.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

If I run "./configure --without-readline" I get the error:

checking types of arguments for accept()...
configure: error: could not determine argument types
