I compiled with your --without-readline option and it compiled just  
fine.  I was able to start the server, but when I try to start the  
client I get this error:

./civclient
1: Did not read help texts
0: No usable default tileset found, aborting!

Even though there does seem to be some tilesets in ./data.

I will look through the docs for this issue, but if you know it  
offhand, let me know.
