I can't seem to find the right combination of configure options to get a
full version of octave built with libncurses coming from /usr/lib. I have
tried:

./configure --enable-shared --enable-dl --disable-static
LDFLAGS="/usr/lib/libncurses.5.dylib /sw/lib/libreadline.4.dylib
/sw/lib/libhdf5.0.dylib" FLIBS=/sw/lib/libg2c.a

./configure --enable-shared --enable-dl --disable-static
LDFLAGS="/usr/lib/libncurses.5.dylib /sw/lib/libreadline.4.dylib
/sw/lib/libhdf5.0.dylib -I/sw/include/readline.h" FLIBS=/sw/lib/libg2c.a

and

./configure --enable-shared --enable-dl --disable-static
LDFLAGS="/usr/lib/libncurses.5.dylib /sw/lib/libreadline.a
/sw/lib/libhdf5.0.dylib -I/sw/include/readline.h" FLIBS=/sw/lib/libg2c.a

All of these result in the following error during the configure phase:

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

I would like to have a full workaround before I report the bug to Fink. Any
suggestions?

Dan
