Yes, that worked perfectly, thanks!

The above happens because GHC is using the OS X default installation
of libreadline.a which is actually a link to libedit that doesn't
implement the full readline API.

If you already have the MacPorts readline, you just need to tell cabal
where it is, with (for example)

cabal install readline --extra-include-dirs=/opt/local/include
--extra-lib-dirs=/opt/local/lib

This didn't immediately fix the problem. But I found out readline was installed but deactivated, which explained why there was nothing readline-related in /opt/local/lib. Reactivating fixed it; I didn't even need to give cabal install any extra hints.

Thanks for the help. :-)

Martijn.
