Hmm. It often helps to look at config.log, it should contain details of
errors that occur. And yes, it should be "lib" and not "libs". Thats
weired though, I don't think those two switches should cause the C
compiler to fail, but the config.log will probably shed some light on
that.

Well, the Makefile is generated by automake, which uses Makefile.am as
the template, so thats usually the file you want to change. Although you
will need automake and autoconf to rebuild them. I don't think it should
be necessary to change those though.

The readline stuff is being included like:
#include <readline/readline.h>

So the directory to include should be where the "readline" directory is
(which I thought would be /sw/include).

If you can get the headers included then the compile time #includes will
be satisfied, you then need to get the library include path correct so
the final link stage can link to the readline library.

You could disable readline support (like Frank Barknecht mentioned),
which I think will disable the command line client. Probably not what
you want though, if you are using FluidSynth stand alone. Cheers.
