I'm also having trouble finding readline when running ./configure.

When I type the command "ldconfig -v | grep 'readline'

I get...

libreadline.so.3 -> libreadline.so.3.0
libguireadline.so.0 -> libguireadline.so.0.0.0
libreadline.so.4 -> libreadline.so.4.2

So why would configure still tell me it can't find readline when it's in the
path? I'm trying to compile 7.2.1 on redhat 7.3. Thanks.

ldd /path/to/psql should tell you if its finding the readline libraries.
you might also want to do
ldconfig -v | grep 'history'
and
ldconfig -v | grep 'readline'

to see what libraries you have. you can then verify that the libs you
have are actually where your telling pg they are supposed to be.
