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.

Regards, Dave

I did it however i get the same error message

 

should i reboot? 

 

thanks

Logged in as 'root' user do the following:

ln -s /usr/lib/libreadline.so.4 /usr/lib/libreadline.so.5

And then continue with the installation....
