Yes.
I've just downloaded it, and it looks like the Makefile should run post-install-script to put readline/* in the right place. Can you check if that is happening correctly?
the post-install script is not exactly happy; here is what i get when it starts running: Running project-specific post-install script ... ==> Regenerating library archive headers... ranlib: file:
