Than it looks like your readline isn't 4.2.

Either install readline 4.2 or (from INSTALL):
 It is possible to make freeciv work with versions of readline earlier
 than 4.2 (but not with 4.2). To do this replace
 "rl_filename_completion_function" with "filename_completion_function" and
 "rl_completion_matches" with "completion_matches" in configure.in and
 server/stdinhand.c, and remove the const modifier from the first arg of
 server/stdinhand.c:freeciv_completion(). Then run autoconf and rebuild.
