Roman-

This also works for me on RH9.0 (athlon). While configuring, I get
checking for readline... yes (-lreadline -ltermcap)

The symbols you're apparently missing are usually provided by termcap,
curses, or ncurses. I suspect you're missing one of them or, worse,
they're corrupted.

Some things to try:

1) Verify that you've got termcap installed and that it's okay. Do 'rpm
-V termcap'. No output is good, everything else is suspect. Install if
not present.

2) If you don't need rl4.1, consider doing rpm -e readline41. That's
probably not your problem, but it's easy to eliminate.

3) Do 'rpm -V readline readline-devel'. Again, no output is good,
otherwise investigate the issue. Install if missing.

4) Ensure that your environment doesn't have C_INCLUDE_PATH,
LIBRARY_PATH, or LD_LIBRARY_PATH set (try 'env|grep path').

5) I've attached a list of rpms on my machine (rpm -qa|sort). comm this
file with a similar list from your machine. Perhaps something will stand
out.

Good luck,
Reece
