Subject: compiling standalone with readline on osx

hello,
I am trying to compile ruby into /usr/local with readline support for 
things like irb.

I am using the following configure command:
CFLAGS='-g -O2 -fno-common -I/usr/include -I/sw/include -L/usr/lib 
-L/sw/lib' ./configure

I have readline support installed through fink but I would like to 
build versions of ruby outside of the fink ports. also, I noticed there 
is a readline.framework bundled with osx.

does anyone have suggestions about how I can build ruby with readline 
support on osx? currently the above command, though it compiles most of 
ruby, does not result in having readline support with irb.
