libreadline depends on libtermcap in RHEL-5, but so far as I can see
this dependency is explicit in the RPM, so it shouldn't have been
possible to not install termcap. (However, I'm not sure just how bright
the dependency solver was in RHEL-5 ... maybe it let you install a
64-bit readline but only the 32-bit version of termcap?)

If you're sure both libraries are there, please show the config.log
output that's probing for readline and not finding it.
