I got it finally.

- If you have readline installed on your computer and compile ruby, it will
create module readline.so. And it works fine if you have /usr/local/lib in
your LD_LIBRARY_PATH.

- If you do not want to mess with shared libreadline.so you can compile it
into ext/readline.so. The easiest way to do it is to remove
/usr/local/lib/libreadline.so.* -- this will leave only libreadline.a in
/usr/local/lib. Recompile ruby again (or just ext/readline) and install it.
As an alternate approach, you can also edit ext/readline/Makefile after you
run configure and replace "-lreadline" with "/usr/local/lib/libreadline.a".

Gennady.
