Make sure you have the readline development package installed for your
distribution. If you installed it in /sw/include/readline then you would
add the directory "/sw/include" to the list of configure include
directories. This can be done like

./configure CPPFLAGS="-I /sw/include" LDFLAGS="-L /sw/libs"

You'll probably need to add /sw/lib to the LD_LOAD_LIBRARY environment
variable too when you run the program (example using bash, put it in
~/.bash_profile or something):

export LD_LOAD_LIBRARY=${LD_LOAD_LIBRARY}:/sw/libs

Hmm, actually I'm not sure if LD_LOAD_LIBRARY will work with Mac OS X or
not. Its for setting run time paths for loading shared libraries.
Hope that helps. Cheers.

P.S. Note to FluidSynth developers, a configure option should probably
be added for readline.
