On Mac OS X 10.4, I can't link programs that use readline unless I explicitly specify the GNUreadline framework on the ghc command line:
Note that this happens for programs that explicitly use System.Console.Readline, not in general ghc use.

Did you specify -package readline?
-package readline doesn't help. It only compiles if I say -framework GNUreadline.
The readline package spec should include the framework option (if not, its a bug in the config of the readline package IMO).
I agree; the framework is supposed to be linked in automatically. Yitzchak, what version of GHC are you running? Is it a development build or a release? Also, what is the output of the following commands? ghc-pkg describe readline otool -L /usr/local/lib/ghc-6.8.2/ghc-6.8.2 [modified to fit the location/version of your ghc] -Judah
