MacOSX is BSD based , the /usr/lib/libreadline.dylib is in fact
is BSD libedit (I think) pretending to be a libreadline.
How do BSD people build octave? Do they install gnu libreadline?
There should be the way to tell to configure to get libreadline
from either /usr/local/ or /sw places. I wonder if setting
CCFLAGS="-I/usr/local/readline:$CCFLAGS"
would help (provided that readline headers are installed in
/usr/local/readline).

Sincerely,

Dmitri.
