Compiling 7.2.3 on RH 8.0

Folks,

For the first time, I'm trying to compile 7.2.3 on a RedHat 8.0 server.
 I'm normally a SuSE user, so I've hit a bit of a wall.

I'm getting errors like this when I try to compile Postgres:

> configure:5800: checking for readline
> configure:5837: gcc -o conftest -O2     -L/usr/lib
> conftest.c -lreadline -lcrypt -lresolv -lnsl -ldl -lm -lbsd  >&5
> /usr/lib/libreadline.so: undefined reference to `tgetnum'
> /usr/lib/libreadline.so: undefined reference to `tgoto'
> /usr/lib/libreadline.so: undefined reference to `tgetflag'
> /usr/lib/libreadline.so: undefined reference to `BC'
> /usr/lib/libreadline.so: undefined reference to `tputs'
> /usr/lib/libreadline.so: undefined reference to `PC'
> /usr/lib/libreadline.so: undefined reference to `tgetent'
> /usr/lib/libreadline.so: undefined reference to `UP'
> /usr/lib/libreadline.so: undefined reference to `tgetstr'

These are the same sort of errors reported by David Busby about a month
ago; however, I tried his solution (manipulating --with-libs) and it
didn't make a difference.

Suggestions, please?

I do have libreadline4.3-3, libtermcap, ncurses, and devel rpms for all
installed.  Help!

Thanks,
Josh
