Usually exporting CPPFLAGS is it.  At least for finding the headers.  Then
you also might have to export LDFLAGS so it can find the linkable
libreadline but this has nothing to do with the header.

Please study the output of configure (file config.log) carefully, usually
you can find the source of the problem there.
