This is a straight forward ld.so path problem, by the sounds of it. Are you sure you're setting ld environment search paths correctly? -- Don james.swaine:
that didn't fix the problem - i still get the same error message. the configure script help should be updated though to show that these two options are available.
thanks, james

I'm not sure whether this will fix your problem, but if you want to build ghc using a libedit in a nonstandard location, there's an easier solution than setting all of those environmental variables: just configure ghc with (for example)
./configure --with-editline-includes=/opt/local/include --with-editline-libraries=/opt/local/lib -Judah
