The biggest problem is not that you need to specify additional ldflags
before configure, but that it isn't documented.

Would it not be possible to have
- --with-readline=(curses|ncurses|termcap|tinfo), and when it is not
specified, get the dependency information from libreadline?

In either case, the error message should mention that you need (to
specify) a library to use.

(Markus, yes, grass-5.0.2 also has this issue on Mandrake 9.0/9.1)
