Hi !!
It took long time to figure out what do to in this case:
checking for library containing fdatasync... none required
checking for shmget in -lcygipc... no
checking for readline... no
configure: error: readline library not found
If you have readline already installed, see config.log for details on the
failure. It is possible the compiler isn't looking in the proper directory.
Use --without-readline to disable readline support.
config.log:
configure:5786: result: no
configure:5800: checking for readline
configure:5837: gcc -o conftest -O2 -I/usr/include -L/usr/lib conftest.c -lr
eadline -lcrypt -lresolv -lnsl -ldl -lm -lbsd >&5

collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
configure:5840: $? = 1
...
After compiling and installing a lot of issues of readline, readline-dev and so on I installed
libtermcap-devel
and everything went fine !!!
I thing that is going to become a very common problem because a german provider of so called "vserver"s don't has this
packageby default on it's virtual but cheap RH boxes.
