Thanks for the tip. I have done that and run ./configure again but gcc seems
to be unable to use the _readline symbol.

gcc  -O2 -Wall   -o wget cmpt.o connect.o convert.o cookies.o ftp.o css.o
css-url.o ftp-basic.o ftp-ls.o hash.o host.o html-parse.o html-url.o http.o
init.o log.o main.o netrc.o progress.o ptimer.o recur.o res.o retr.o
spider.o url.o utils.o exits.o build_info.o  version.o ftp-opie.o
../lib/libgnu.a
Undefined symbols:
  "_readline", referenced from:
      _retrieve_from_file in retr.o
ld: symbol(s) not found
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

However, I have libreadline.dylib installed in /usr/lib (comes with OSX) and
can see the symbol in the symbol table:

$ nm /usr/lib/libreadline.dylib | grep readline
000000000000a8a8 T _readline
000000000001eae0 D _readline_echoing_p
000000000001e9c0 D _rl_readline_name
000000000001ea18 D _rl_readline_version

Where is make looking for the shared libraries? Do I need to set an
environment variable?

Thanks for your help.
