Use whatever program Mandrake offers to install software. Look for a
readline package and install it. The compiled readline program is
probably already installed, you need a development package with the
source code or at least the appropriate headers. Under SuSE the
development packages (which you need here) are called <package>-devel.
It's probably something similar for Mandrake.

Well, it says Mandrake 10 in the subject. ;)
