Hi, Gabriele.

Which version of Ubuntu?

I'm guessing "Nessun file o directory" is Italian for "No file or
directory".  So it can't find readline.h.

On Ubuntu 8.04 (very old now), I needed to install libreadline5-dev.
This package is in the main repository.  It provides readline.h at
/usr/include/readline/readline.h.  Does readline.h exist on your system
at that location?  If not, can you see if there is a libreadline5-dev,
or perhaps a libreadline6-dev package available, and install it?

That doesn't look like a Unix path.  I thought you were doing this in
Ubuntu (?).

The environment variable name should be EPICS_HOST_ARCH, not
EPICS_ARCH_HOST.  In a Bourne shell, you should have done something like
this for a 32-bit Linux:

  export EPICS_HOST_ARCH=linux-x86

or for a 64-bit Linux:

  export EPICS_HOST_ARCH=linux-x86_64

Try the steps above.  If you still have trouble, send the complete
output of setting and exporting your EPICS_HOST_ARCH environment
variable and running make.
