	Hi again! Just as James ask Anthony on the list, could you please give 
us the output of:

env
ls -l /usr/lib
ls -l /usr/local/lib

	We need to spot what's causing our build process to get confused with 
the readline libraries.

	Other than that, I should warn you that using /usr/local as your 
darwinports prefix is a terrible idea; this particular failure put 
aside, you're bound to experience several build failures due to 
confusions similar to this one (/usr/local being a very common location 
to place software of all kinds).

	Thanks for the feedback!
