Try looking at the config.log output in the part where it's trying to
find readline (should be near the end); the link error messages may be
enlightening. If not, try "ldd" on the readline library file to see
what its dependencies are --- the best theory I have is that you are
missing some library it requires. (It ain't necessarily termcap.)
Of course if you are this would indicate a packaging mistake for
libreadline, because it should have had an RPM dependency on whatever
it needs.
