Hi,
I was fairly certain that readline is installed with the xcode cd... If 
it isn't, I have no idea where my copy came from.

mark@imac% l /usr/lib | grep read
lrwxr-xr-x    1 root  wheel       15 16 Mar 14:12 libpthread.dylib -> 
libSystem.dylib
-r-xr-xr-x    1 mark  staff   324308  6 Sep  2003 libreadline.4.3.dylib
lrwxr-xr-x    1 root  admin       21 24 Sep  2003 libreadline.4.dylib 
-> libreadline.4.3.dylib
-rw-r--r--    1 mark  staff   487060  6 Sep  2003 libreadline.a
lrwxr-xr-x    1 root  admin       21 24 Sep  2003 libreadline.dylib -> 
libreadline.4.3.dylib
-r-xr-xr-x    1 root  wheel    26808  3 May 22:24 plistread

There is a symlink to the library from framework:

mark@imac% l /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/readline.framework/ | 
grep readline
lrwxr-xr-x   1 root  wheel    26 24 Sep  2003 readline -> 
/usr/lib/libreadline.dylib

Is it not there?

OTherwise, I'm not sure why it failed to compile. That error looks like 
it's beyond me. However, (at the risk of sounding like telephone 
support) sometimes, an install is just bad. Have you tried running the 
xcode install again?

HTH,
--Mark
