I had this same problem. I rebuilt my readline library ala:

  wget ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/readline/readline-5.1.tar.gz
  tar -xzf readline-5.1.tar.gz
  cd readline-5.1
  ./configure --prefix=/usr/local && make && sudo make install

And then rebuilt ruby:

  make distclean && configure --with-readline-dir=/usr/local && make
&& make test-all

And all was well.
