One question: is there a particular reason not to use the 7.2.3 RPM's for Red
Hat 8.0?

Now, going back to my Red Hat 8.0 7.2.3 build, I also see those errors.
However, readline is working and has been linked into psql.  An excerpt from
my build log:
checking how to link an embedded Python application...
-L/usr/lib/python2.2/config
 -ldl -lpthread -lutil -lm -lpython2.2
checking for readline... yes (-lreadline -ltermcap)
checking for library containing using_history... none required
checking for main in -lbsd... yes

Now, config.log from the same area:

You have libtermcap-devel installed, correct (you said as much; just
double-checking)?
