If you don't intend to use ginsh, you can safely ignore this warning.
I've read the Install file and Common problems. I found that there is installed libreadline5.2-3build1
As explained in the `INSTALL' file, you also need -dev package (that is, if you really want to use ginsh). Debian (etch) package is called libreadline5-dev. I don't use Ubuntu myself, but I guess the package name should be the same.

what is the problem?
libreadline5*-dev package (which contains readline headers and libreadline.so symlink) is missing on your system.
p.s. I don't know can I attach for example config.log file in my mail?
In fact, it's a good idea to do so. Best regards, Alexei -- All science is either physics or stamp collecting.
