On Red Hat 8.0, readline depends on -ltermcap.  I would imagine the same
is true on RH9, but haven't got it installed personally.

If you don't have termcap (and possibly termcap-devel, not sure if
that's needed) then configure should detect the missing dependency.
Maybe it did --- you didn't show us enough of config.log to see what
happened.
