Greetings List,
Building guile 2.0.7 under Linux Mint 14 (essentially Ubuntu 12.10) I am
unable to see how to get readline built into the system.
The configure script reports:
configure: WARNING: *** GNU Readline is too old on your system.
configure: WARNING: *** You need readline version 2.1 or later.
This despite checking that readline is quite up to date on the system
(version 6.2).
Can anybody advise?

This is a shot in the dark, but do you have the 'libreadline-dev'
package installed? Remember that when building packages from source
that require a library, you generally need the '-dev' package of that
library.
More generally, I'd recommend 'apt-get build-dep guile-2.0', which will
install all the build-dependencies for the guile-2.0 package that's
already in Ubuntu 12.10.
Mark
