But finally installation succeeded (editline is missing and the arrow keys don't work).

This means that the editline package could not be built for some reason. Is this on your OS X machine? If so, it's strange because libedit should be installed on OS X by default; what OS version are you running? If you separately download and build the editline package from hackage, what errors do you get?

It works fine under OS X. My problem is under x86 solaris.
