Martin,

I'm looking at the file right now. history.h is a link to readline.h which has 6771 characters in it.

What is /usr/lsd/Linux? This seems broken. Please take a look at /usr/lsd/Linux/include/readline/history.h - it appears to be an empty file. Make sure you have a working copy of the readline header files installed, and make sure the build process picks them up.
