Define "doesn't work". When you're asking for help with a problem, it's
always important to give the exact error message you are getting.

Do you have the readline header files? (If you're using RPMs, you
need the readline-devel RPM as well as readline itself.)

On some platforms libreadline depends on libcurses --- but without
seeing the error message it's impossible to guess if that applies
to you.
