May have come from an old OS or xcode install. Apple keeps moving
things around.

Nope: 

  find /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/readline.framework/ -name \*read\*
and
  ls /usr/lib/*read*

come up empty. 

BTW, I found the problem with the compile issue. Apparently there is a
narrow window of opportunity for new systems to not have four libraries
installed. (It all started when the libraries moved from the std OS
install to the xcode CD.)

I fixed the problem by downloading xcode-1.2 and installing.
However, it does not seem to have readline.

Yes. But it didn't. Now that I understand about the missing libs,
it has been fixed.
