These kinds of problems normally come from missing a -devel part of a
package.  For instance, readline and openssl come as two packages each
in RedHat:

smarlowe@state:~> rpm -qa|grep readline
readline-devel-4.3-10.1
readline-4.3-10.1
smarlowe@state:~> rpm -qa|grep openssl
openssl-devel-0.9.7a-35
openssl-0.9.7a-35

And you generally need both of them.  More than likely you're just
missing whatever mandrake versions of those devel rpms you need.
