Hello Joseph,

You seems to have a a broken installation of readline in /usr/local/

Try 
./Configure --without-readline

or
./Configure --with-readline=/usr/lib

But anyway, I discourage users to install things directly to /usr/local unless
they are experienced enough to deal with the side effect. It is safer to
use different directories for different projects.

The latest version of the PARI/GP installation guide is at

Cheers,
Bill.
