it seems that the module has many problems on most platforms and perl versions

Not that I checked all of the failure reports, but I couldn't find one that failed in the same way as happened for the op. In the vast majority of cases, the module compiled ... but not in this particular instance.

GertMT, a better clue to the cause of the failure might have been given earlier - so it might be worth giving us a look at the *entire* make output.

The README in the Term-ReadLine-Gnu-1.16 source distro states:
"You must have GNU Readline Library Version 2.1 or later. See INSTALL for more detail."

Do you satisfy that requirement ?

Cheers,
Rob
