Subject: Can't compile with readline

Hi,

I'm trying to compile Ruby 1.8.5 on Debian Sarge with readline. After
compilation I try irb and I get:

irb(main):001:0> require "readline"
LoadError: no such file to load -- readline
        from (irb):1:in `require'
        from (irb):1

Also I have these readline related packages installed:

$ dpkg -l | grep ^ii | grep readline
ii  libreadline-ruby      1.8.2-1         Readline interface for Ruby
ii  libreadline-ruby1.6   1.6.8-12sarge2  Readline interface for Ruby 1.6.x
ii  libreadline-ruby1.8   1.8.5-3         Readline interface for Ruby 1.8
ii  libreadline4          4.3-11          GNU readline and history
libraries, run-time libraries
ii  libreadline5          5.2-1           GNU readline and history
libraries, run-time libraries
ii  libreadline5-dev      5.2-1           GNU readline and history
libraries, development files
ii  readline-common       5.2-1           GNU readline and history
libraries, common files

Why ruby does not compile with readline? Thank you!
