Ok, I tried that, but still no luck:

Pizza:~/Desktop/octave-2.9.9 mbrennwa$ ls -la /usr/local/lib/libread*
-r-xr-xr-x 1 root wheel 466664 Dec 19 12:44 /usr/local/lib/ 
libreadline.5.2.dylibTEMPOTHERNAME
lrwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel     21 Dec 19 12:44 /usr/local/lib/ 
libreadline.5.dylib -> libreadline.5.2.dylib
lrwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel     21 Dec 19 20:19 /usr/local/lib/ 
libreadline.a -> /sw/lib/libreadline.a
lrwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel     21 Dec 19 12:44 /usr/local/lib/ 
libreadline.dylib -> libreadline.5.2.dylib

and then:

Pizza:~/Desktop/octave-2.9.9 mbrennwa$ ./configure CPPFLAGS="-I/usr/ 
local/include" LDFLAGS="-L/usr/local/lib"
...lots of stuff here...
checking for rl_set_keyboard_input_timeout in -lreadline... no
configure: WARNING: I need GNU Readline 4.2 or later
configure: error: this is fatal unless you specify --disable-readline

Any thoughts?

Matthias
