Oops, I meant: fputs (prompt, stdout). Sorry.

fputs() doesn't output an extra newline. Only puts() does.

Can you put the specification header include _before_ the others, to
verify that "readline.h" is self-contained?

You need a #include <stdio.h> before including <readline/readline.h>,
because <readline/readline.h> makes use of the FILE type without including
<stdio.h> itself.

That won't work if the readline library is installed in $PREFIX but not
in /usr: The AC_CHECK_HEADERS won't find the readline.h include file.
I suggest this code, taken from iconv.m4 with all required modifications.
