Unable to install cint on Ubuntu 12.04

I am trying to build cint from sources on Ubuntu 12.04. However it complains about libreadline:

~/Desktop/cint-5.18.00 » ./configure      

Guessing architecture to be linuxx8664gcc

Using current CINT core

Please install the package "libreadline or [lib]readline-dev[el]"!

I have libreadline6, libreadline-dev and libreadline6-dev installed. What should I do?

Edit:

Using --readlinelib option below I am able to run configure, make and make install:

But when I try to run it I get:

~/Desktop/cint-5.18.00 » cint

cint: error while loading shared libraries: libCint.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Thanks

Search for shared lib using using:

locate libreadline.so

Then run configure with --readlinelib option:

./configure --readlinelib=/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libreadline.so.6 --prefix=/usr/local

make

sudo make install

If cint couldn't find the shared lib libCint.so.
```
sudo ln /usr/local/lib/libCint.so /usr/lib/libCint.so
```
or you may add /usr/local/lib to ld load path:
```
sudo echo "/usr/local/lib" >> /etc/ld.so.conf.d/usr-local.conf

sudo ldconfig
```
But keep in mind this not recommended, Local installed lib's may conflict with Distribution installed libs. So make links instead if you get such problems.

If it didn't work. There are multiple readline lib versions. see if they work.

If your OS is 64bit install:
```
sudo apt-get install lib64readline6-dev:i386
```
I have checked it and it does work. Otherwise check the other one of 32bit:
```
sudo apt-get install lib32readline6-dev
```
