That readline issue may be a problem with configure.
I have built readline and ruby on OS X and it works fine.
I just recently had to do the same on a Sun and ran
across the this problem: the readline extension did not
build with ruby make, and it should have. So, after
I did ./configure and make, I did:

  cd ext/readline
  ruby extconfig.rb
  make
  make install

Then backup up and finished installing ruby:

  cd ../..
  make install
