Well, you'd better install the RPM for readline (which you probably
already have), the readline-devel package and probably (at least on
Mandrake it is needed) the termcap-devel package.

This frees you from some administrative tasks.  If you can, avoid
installing packages from non-RPM sources when appropiate RPMs exist.
Your distribution already does the work for you (and this is the whole
point in using a distribution IMHO).
