HXD and Readline

I don't know if HXD would really fit in this forum, but since readline is involved (and since I don't know where HXD would fit in the gentoo scheme of things) I'll post the problem here.

HXD is a linux hotline clone. In order to install HXD readline is required. I've tried both emerging readline, and installing it manually - no brainer - and I've gotten the same error. When I ./configure for HXD I get a "readline is required for HXD" error. When I emerge -s readline I show an install, yet I keep getting these errors. I can post the configure script here, but it may be lengthy. Let me know if you want to look at it.

TIA

More info:

I'm using a root account to do the compile, do I have to super user or anything?

What version? I can configure it fine using hxd-0.2.16 and readline 4.3
Are you trying to compile the GTK client or the CLI?

what I did (I hope I did it right):

emerge readline (or something similar). The version was whatever was latest at time of emerge - which was last week sometime

in the hx dir I typed:

./configure --enable-hotline-client

it stops with some error of not finding readline or something or other.

Did you emerge readline? or did you do a manual compile?

Help me: I will be your acolyte

I already had readline installed via emerge. How about trying:
