I had this same problem. Thanks to a suggestion from Bruce Momjian, I
noticed that the configure script was not finding the readline
libraries. I checked, and found that though I did have the readline
package installed, I did not have the readline-devel package installed.
Once I installed that package, the configure script found readline and
after recompiling everything works fine.
