Does this series of steps work for you?

curl ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/readline/readline-5.0.tar.gz | tar xfz -
cd readline-5.0
./configure
cd shlib
sed -e 's/-dynamic/-dynamiclib/' Makefile > Makefile.good
mv Makefile.good Makefile
cd ..
make && sudo make install
sudo rm /usr/lib/libreadline*
sudo ln -s /usr/local/lib/libreadline* /usr/lib/

I got those from here, just FYI:
