two solutions:

1. for a first try, comment the (require 'readline.la') in
/usr/local/share/foo/toplevel.foo to see if everything else works.

2. readline.la depends on libreadline, but doesn't come with it.
readline.la is the readline extension of fooelk (my readline patch).

i guess you forgot to run the ./configure when building fooelk with
the option:

./configure --enable-gnu-readline

if this option is not present, fooelk looks for BSD libedit (license
compliant with elk), which might not present on your system.  anyway,
you could watch the ./configure output when it's testing for
readline. should look like
this (somewhere in between):

checking readline/readline.h usability... yes
checking readline/readline.h presence... yes
checking for readline/readline.h... yes
checking readline/history.h usability... yes
checking readline/history.h presence... yes
checking for readline/history.h... yes
checking for readline in -lreadline... yes

if started without --enable-gnu-readline:

checking editline/readline.h usability... no
checking editline/readline.h presence... no
checking for editline/readline.h... no
checking editline/history.h usability... no
checking editline/history.h presence... no
checking for editline/history.h... no
checking for readline in -ledit... no

there is no warning about that, since it's still a testing patch and
not really necessary to run fooelk...

bests,

martin
