Ok; neither of these did work,
so I deleted Apple's fake readline symlink (in /usr/lib I think it was) 
and did
export LDFLAGS="-L/usr/X11R6/lib -L/sw/lib"
after installing the fink readline packages, but before configuring 
gnuplot (w/o the above "builtin" flag). Then make and make install 
seemed to go through.

For configuring gnuplot I also changed the prefix to 
....Gretl.app/Contents/Resources, since that seemed to correspond to the 
PATH used further down.

I also changed the gretl prefix to ...Gretl.app (w/o 
Contents/Resources), it seemed more natural (and maybe the prefixes for 
gnuplot and gretl were just swapped by accident?).

Configuring gretl I got an error about missing pkg-config (but it found 
the compiled and installed gnuplot with png support, so far so good...).

The fink package pkgconfig is installed AFAICS. So here I'm stuck, any 
new ideas?

BTW, I should also mention that I couldn't install packages gmp3 and 
mpfr, fink didn't know about them.
