Aha! That *seems* to have fixed the problem with libedit.so.0. Now ghc is
complaining about something else:
grep: packages: No such file or directory
make -C libraries boot
make[1]: Entering directory `/home/jswaine/ghc/ghc-6.10.1/libraries'
mkdir bootstrapping

use export: and
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/home/jswaine/libedit/lib Are you sure /home/jswaine/libedit/lib/libedit.so.0 is a valid file? C.
