The case here is that he might be using a RPM which is for FC5 and been used on FC4 which is why it keeps on looking for so.5 as libreadline.so.5 is the updated libreadline.so.4 in FC5.
I have tried making symlinks (workaround) in the past and that worked for me this way when I used a FC5 built RPM on FC4 :)

I'm no RPM expert, but doesn't a failed RPM dependency require that you
install the correct RPM rather than adding probably-incompatible
symlinks between different major versions of a library?
I'd suggest finding and installing a libreadline5 RPM.
