Hmm, do we want to force users to have fink installed?
We can also ship our own version of readline...

Yes, this seems to be the error I am really worried about and
which I told you about at Nice. Closer investigation showed that
libtool does something strange here.

I guess that you did *not* do any make install for basix and mmxlight.
If you manually change the corresponding libtool libraries and
change the "installed" parameter to "true", then things suddenly compiled.
I think that there is a bug in the libtool version of the Mac.
