It was suggested that version 20000204 may fix some bugs in version
0.30, so I've been compiling it.  I noticed a small bug.
On my debian system, I have the readline includes in /usr/include/readline
and I have libreadline.so in /usr/lib.  If I just run 'configure',
it fails to find readline, even if I say explicitly
     --with-readline-include=/usr/include/readline \
So I tried specifying
     --with-readline-lib=/usr/lib
With this, configure finds readline, but the compilation of arlad
fails, because I suppose the inclusion of -L/usr/lib makes some
libraries on the system override some arla-supplied libraries.
I can get readline to be found and the compilation to succeed
if I specify
     --with-readline-lib=/
because the resulting '-L/' doesn't mess about with actual
library paths.
