Where have you installed libreadline? Is LD_LIBRARY_PATH pointing to the directory libreadline.dylib? Did you install libreadline with fink? If so, try setenv LD_LIBRARY_PATH /sw/lib before compiling (csh). Bash (OSX default) and similar shells use this silly 2 part syntax: LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/sw/lib export LD_LIBRARY_PATH Do a "locate libreadline.dylib" and set the LD_LIBRARY_PATH to the containing directory and then make clean ./configure make make install or similar. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
